IEMT

IEMT or Integral Eye Movement Techniques is a brief change work process that generates rapid change in the area of undesired emotional and identity imprints. The process of the technique answers the question, “How did the client learn to feel the way that they do, about the thing that troubles them?”

As the name suggests, the technique involves specific eye movements whilst addressing the client’s current issue. 

So, how does it work?

Neurologically there is a connection between memories and emotions, so if for instance there is a negative event in your past that when you recall it gives a strong negative emotion then we can separate the connection of memory and emotion. You don’t get to lose or forget the memory but you get to a time where it no longer affects you emotionally.

Another part of the process is to help you change behavioural habits that no longer serve you well. Often these thoughts and behaviours are what’s keeping you in the state you are looking to change. So ’emotions’ such as guilt, shame, anxiety, anger et al can also be investigated to see where they arose and if there are an other issues surrounding them.

However, and this is the BIG selling point of IEMT, the client doesn’t need to talk through the negative event/memory.

YES, I will repeat that.

The client doesn’t need to talk through the negative event/memory.

As long as they have the memory and the negative emotion attached to that memory then change can begin.

Imagine how freeing that could be to those fed up with going over and over the same events and having to re-visit and talk ad nauseum about them.
