Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a developing area of rapid-change work that explores the area of undesired emotions and our ways of being. The process explores the question, "How did we learn to feel the way that we do?" and opens up the possibility of creating the appropriate change in our emotional lives.
Unlike many other therapies, IEMT requires little or no content. It works best with anxiety, depression, negative emotions and memories and is incredibly useful in helping PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). This negates the need to repeat past history, which often enhances and strengthens the negative emotions or memories - defeating the objective of resolving them.
IEMT can also include changing the unconscious and automatic way our bodies respond before our conscious mind has time to respond by a process called Psychological State Accessing Cues (PSAC’s) not always necessary but a powerful tool in resolving these negative physical responses.
Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT) was developed out of these models following the observation of a number of neurological phenomena that occur during the eye movements at the point that the problematic imagery changed its emotional coding. Then there was the development of a specific set of applications of this phenomenon that enabled IEMT to be applied to the areas of neurological imprints – specifically, emotional imprints and imprints of identity.
Emotional imprinting occurs when a person lays down a new kinaesthetic response to an experience. This teaches the person how to feel about certain things. For example, how many of us when told by the boss that he'd "like a word" in his office immediately feel like a schoolchild about to be told off. This is an emotional imprint in action.
Identity imprinting occurs during lifelong development and is constantly evolving and changing. Many aspects of identity are attributed and occur neurologically as a feedback response to the environment. An example of this is the production worker who yesterday was "one of the boys" and today, following promotion to lower management, is now officially an enemy to his former friends and colleagues.
More recently, I have successfully worked with clients with a range of issues which include weight loss, nightmares and phobias. Anywhere where an emotional response has got ‘stuck in time and space’ as if it is happening now.
