Discussion: Brad’s Journey with Dharma Dr., Product Highlight, and Vision

1. The Dharma Dr. Tabs: A Portable Tool for Stress Management

Timestamp: 00:02:05 – 00:03:06

  • Brad introduces Dharma Dr. tabs, wireless tactile stimulation devices for clinical and non-clinical use.

  • Designed for therapists and individuals, the tabs are compact, discreet, and effective for stress management.

2. App Features for Remote Sessions and Live Demonstration

Timestamp: 00:03:40 – 00:06:36

  • Overview of app controls: speed, intensity, Auto Stop function (upcoming update).

  • Demonstration of remote access feature, allowing therapists to control tabs from anywhere.

  • Live demo: Brad in Idaho remotely controls tabs for Michal in Virginia.

3. The Science & Benefits of Bilateral Stimulation

Timestamp: 00:08:12 – 00:13:14

  • Dr. Amy Serin explains how bilateral stimulation reduces stress and enhances focus.

  • EEG research shows a 62% reduction in stress within 30 seconds of using tactile BLS.

  • Why tactile stimulation is more effective than eye movements alone in EMDR therapy.

Addressing Common Concerns in Teletherapy

4. Enhancing Teletherapy with Bilateral Stimulation

Timestamp: 00:15:21 – 00:17:07

  • Comparing self-administered techniques (e.g., butterfly hug) vs. therapist-controlled BLS.

  • How bilateral stimulation can provide immediate stress relief in remote therapy sessions.

5. Integrating Biometric Feedback & AI in Therapy

Timestamp: 00:17:38 – 00:22:49

  • Dharma Dr. is exploring partnerships with wearable EEG and biometric devices to track stress in real-time.

  • AI-driven features could help therapists optimize speed and intensity settings based on client response patterns.

6. Using Bilateral Stimulation in Crisis Response & Humanitarian Efforts

Timestamp: 00:22:49 – 00:26:23

  • Dharma Dr. is in discussions with humanitarian organizations to support trauma survivors.

  • The remote access feature enables group EMDR protocols, allowing multiple clients to participate in guided reprocessing sessions.

Q&A Session: Overview

7. Insurance & Accessibility

Timestamp: 00:28:08 – 00:29:15

  • Dharma Dr. is not currently HSA/FSA eligible but actively pursuing this.

  • Clinicians can provide discount codes to clients for purchasing their own tabs.

8. Battery Life & Device Usage

Timestamp: 00:52:24 – 00:53:30

  • Tabs run 2-3 hours per charge and the case provides multiple recharges.

  • Designed for quiet operation to avoid distractions in therapy sessions.

9. Research on Bilateral Stimulation for ADHD & Autism

Timestamp: 00:38:35 – 00:50:36

  • UK study shows 70% reduction in fight-or-flight behaviors in autistic children using bilateral stimulation.

  • EEG data suggests improved focus and self-regulation for ADHD.

10. Best Practices for Selecting Speed & Intensity

Timestamp: 00:32:03 – 00:33:49

  • Blue setting is effective for most users.

  • Fuchsia setting may be helpful for high-stress situations but too fast for EMDR eye movements.

11. Future Product Enhancements & Roadmap

Timestamp: 00:26:58 – 00:28:37

  • Upcoming features: expanded therapy content, biometric tracking, and enhanced session analytics.

  • Customizable silicone sleeves will be available in different colors.
