Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT)
IEMT is a modality that utilises simple eye movements and questioning techniques to change a particular thought pattern that may be problematic for the recipient. The techniques aim to gently soften the intensity of strong feelings, helping you to work through emotional issues.
The theory behind IEMT is that moving our eyes in certain ways may connect with the way we store memories and emotions, in a way thought to be similar to REM sleep.
IEMT asks the question, "how did this person learn to feel this way about this thing?" and helps resolve it.
IEMT can also show you why you may repeat unwanted behaviour and how to deal with this.
For example, how many of us when told by the boss that (s)he'd "like a word" in his/her office immediately feel like a school child about to be told off. This is an emotional imprint in action.
In some cases, the person can adopt aspects of identity that can be problematic. For example, an emotional imprint might be, "I feel unhappy" whilst an identity imprint might be, "I am an unhappy person" or even, "I am a depressive."
IEMT can be helpful whenever old emotional patterns are getting in the way: strong reactions that seem out of proportion, habits you'd like to change, or feelings about the past that still have a hold on you. Loosening these patterns can bring change, new freedom and allow new opportunities to emerge.
Consultations via Zoom
What to expect
A safe, confidential space where you can explore what is troubling you. My approach is person-centred, IFS and Trauma-informed. I will be guided by you at your pace.
How to Book a Session
At present, all the work I offer is online (through Zoom). If you wish to explore working together the first step is to book an initial exploratory 20-30 minute meeting. There is no fee for this and it is not a healing session, but so that we can ‘meet’ each other and get a sense as to whether working together feels right, and if so, so that I can explain the options and the next steps in the process, including booking the first healing session.
Fee £50 per hour, £65 1 1/2 hours or £90 for 2 hours
