Using Audio BLS

The Audio BLS feature allows you to use bilateral audio tones as part of your EMDR sessions. This can be used on its own or combined with visual and tactile stimulation for a customizable experience.

Steps

1. Open the Dharma Dr app
   Ensure your Tabs are powered on and connected via Bluetooth.
2. Go to Advanced Session Settings
   From the home screen, tap 3 dots menu in the upper right and scroll to Audio BLS.
3. Enable Audio BLS
   Toggle on Audio. You can choose to run Audio alone or in combination with Visual and/or Tactile.
4. Select sound type
   Return to the Home screen and select the Audio icon on the right side of the screen. You can then choose from the available tones within the app. Each tone will alternate between the left and right audio channels.
5. Start your session
   Plug in headphones (Recommended) or use your phone’s speakers and begin. The tones will alternate as the session runs.

Troubleshooting

• No sound playing — Check your phone’s volume level and ensure mute/vibrate mode is off.
• Sound only on one side — Make sure stereo headphones are being used and are working properly. Restart the app if needed.
• Audio lagging — Close background apps and keep your device close to the Tabs for best performance.

Tips & Best Practices

• Use headphones for the clearest bilateral effect.
• Combine Audio with Visual or Tactile BLS for a richer session experience.
• Adjust tone type and volume based on client comfort.
