Is Rewire legit? And every other question you're actually asking.

Rewire is a guided EMDR-style bilateral stimulation platform that runs in any web browser — no download. Two connected parts: a self-guided app for individuals (guided sessions, SUD tracking, session journal) and a portal where EMDR therapists assign between-session practice and follow client progress.

Yes. Rewire is built by Rewire App LLC (Buffalo, WY), works with licensed EMDR therapists, and is blunt about what it is: a practice and between-session tool built on bilateral stimulation — not a replacement for therapy. You get 2 full free sessions with no credit card, so you can judge it before paying a cent.

No — and we say that on purpose, everywhere. EMDR therapy is delivered by a trained clinician. Rewire is for practice, grounding, and between-session work. Many of our users are referred by their therapist; others use it solo for self-regulation. If you're carrying significant trauma, please also work with a qualified clinician.

Pick a guided session (anxiety, grief, stress, trauma tracks), set an intention, then follow bilateral stimulation — a moving light bar, alternating audio tones, or haptic buzz — at a pace that's comfortable. Sessions open and close with a quick SUD (distress) rating. Your history, journal, and progress live in your private account.

$14.99/month or $99.99/year. Two full sessions free, no card required. There's also a permanently free BLS tool that doesn't even need a login. HSA/FSA cards may apply.

No. Anyone can sign up and use the self-guided app. If your EMDR therapist uses Rewire, their invite link connects your accounts so they can assign practice and see your progress — but it's not required.

Your sessions, SUD scores, and journal entries are private to your account. If you're linked to a therapist, they can see your practice data — that's the point of the link — and you can disconnect whenever you want. We don't sell personal data. Details in the privacy policy.

Rewire is built on bilateral stimulation (BLS), the core technique of EMDR. The strongest lab account is working-memory taxation: hold a distressing memory in mind while attention oscillates, and the memory loses vividness and punch. EMDR itself is endorsed for PTSD by the WHO, APA, and VA/DoD. Rewire delivers BLS for practice and regulation — it is not itself a medical treatment. More on the evidence and on what EMDR eye movements actually do.

Yes — any modern browser, phone or computer, nothing to install. Haptic buzz works on phones that support vibration; visual and audio BLS work everywhere.

From your account settings or the Stripe billing portal — no emails, no phone calls, no retention maze. Access runs to the end of your paid period.
