IEMT
What is IEMT?
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a therapeutic approach rooted in neurology, psychology, and cognitive science principles. IEMT provides an innovative framework for addressing various emotional and behavioural challenges by focusing on the intricate interplay between eye movements and memory recall.
IEMT offers a structured method for exploring how memories and emotions are encoded in the mind. This therapy uses precise eye movement patterns to recalibrate maladaptive responses, allowing individuals to process distressing memories, alleviate negative emotions, and develop healthier mental frameworks.

What To Expect
A session of IEMT would usually begin with a conversation, me asking about the issue you’ve come to explore, followed by you telling me about it if you want to.
I say ‘if you want to’ because this can work very effectively content free, i.e. as long as you can hold the thought in your mind, I can help you to work with it.
Once we’ve identified an issue to work on, I would ask you to hold the problematic image in your mind whilst your eyes my follow my fingers in a specific pattern, moving them in different directions. The result of this is often that the imagery loses its emotional impact and becomes far less disturbing. This can be particularly effective with regards to intrusive imagery and flashback type phenomena associated with trauma recovery and post traumatic stress disorders.
