Integral eye movement therapy (I.E.M.T) is an therapeutic approach and modality which uses eye movement techniques to support you in achieving change, getting 'unstuck' and supporting emotional regulation.

​

We store our memories and life experiences inside our minds. and this can inform the way we might behave, respond or feel to current situations. Some of these responses, sit deep with in our sub-conscious - this means we don't consciously think or recall them - but these memories have influence and impact on our lives. They are rooted in our psychological (mind) and physiological (body) . All well and good if these imprints and past experiences are supporting us in doing and feeling good. But some events and experiences in life, may lead to situations you find troubling, problematic and can impact your mental health. 

Aimed at reducing and supporting you with intense negative emotional states/feelings. 

​

Our session(s) together will help work through the experience, and how you 'learned to be this way' focusing on feeling and identity imprints and helping you shift associations with these. 

The approach is not talk therapy and often I will not require much detail about an ACTUAL event. 

​

My main client focus with this modality is helping people with 

• Feelings of guilt, shame, embarrassment - which may show up as low confidence or lack of self esteem.  Preventing you from moving on or doing things you would like in life. 

• Feelings of anxiety, worry or fear - which may be problematic in social situations, making choices in work or life,  lead to people pleasing and over-committing. These feeling current stop or hinder aspects of your life. 

• Feelings frustration, resentment or emotional anger - effecting relationships, communication or mental well-being. 

•  Trauma/PTSD

​

IEMT's have evolved from  eye-movement integration therapy by Steve Andreas and Connirae Andreas, and Francine Shapiro's eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Developed by Andrew T. Austin in the UK, it was influenced by David Grove's ideas about exploring identity through pronouns and a range of other psychological approach's.  This approach is often utilised by integrative coaches and psychotherapists. 

​

To determine if my personal approach and I.E.M.T would be right for you,  I offer a FREE discovery call where we will explore your personal circumstances more and I can share more about the approach and our collaborative commitment to coaching/sessions together.
