About Bumble BLS

Bumble BLS is a company committed to developing innovative and effective tools for therapists, offering a diverse range of products including therapeutic books and EMDR tools for all ages. Our EMDR products were thoughtfully created by Lauren Stockly, a Registered Play Therapist who recognized the need for durable, wireless devices that could better serve the needs of child therapists and their clients. 

Lauren's inspiration came from witnessing the profound results of EMDR in her practice. But she needed a product that could withstand liquid and sand while allowing for expressive, unrestricted movement. The result is the Bumble BLS B-Pulse, a "play-proof" solution for EMDR.

About EMDR

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is the world’s leading evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The treatment involves clients exploring their traumatic memories in conjunction with bilateral stimulation (BLS), which simply means to engage one or more senses on each side of the body in an alternating pattern. For EMDR, the most basic form of BLS watching the therapist’s finger or a small light go back and forth. However, many clients respond better to tactile BLS, or a combination of sensory inputs. B-Pulse is a tactile BLS solution designed for both child and adult clients.
