Integral Eye Movement Therapy
IEMT™ is born from the Eye Accessing Cues that NLP techniques have popularised in the recent past. The technique used as a whole covers the following three key areas of a client's experience: Seeing, Feeling, Being.Andrew T Austin, creator of IEMT:
Problems most often resolved with IEMT are those issues where the person is somehow "stuck in their past." Guilt, shame and blame are easily resolved with I.E.M Therapy and probably in the shortest time. Identity beliefs and self esteem issues such as, "I am no good," "I am clumsy" and so forth are also rapidly addressed and resolved using the methodology.
Seeing
This; the first stage of the therapy, uses the client's eye accessing cues to change the way in which problematic memories are accessed which in turn reduces their emotional impact on the client. Past memories and associated feelings are swiftly reduced in intensity. We can also use the same technique to change how the client feels about anticipated events yet to occur in the future.
Feeling
After difusing potentialy harmful and intense feelings and memories, we can work on the client's identity of themselves. This occurs everyday and an example of this is when we might be called in to the boss' office having been told they'd "like a word with you" and we immediately feel like a school boy. What the identity part of the therapy involves is removing these negative imprints allowing the client to feel as appropriate to their current age and status rather than regressing to the feelings we had from our school experience.
Being
The second part of the identity element of the therapy works with our more deep seated and (to a greater or lesser extent) permenant identities. These generally affect the way we "are". To give you an idea, some of the identities I frequently work with include: Mother, father, Son, Daughter, Male/Female, <name> and lots of other identities that we use and are used to describe ourselves.
State Access
IEMT also includes some excellent NLP work where we will work with the way in which we physically access a state of mind. The depressive, for example, may lean forward and place their face in their hands. Clearly, this movement helps trigger the feelings of depression, so working with this, the movement is interrupted and the client is given the ability swiftly and automatically convert that into a positive and motivational movement reversing the effect. This is a surprisingly effective system.
IEMT does not need you to be good at "explaining" how you feel, nor does it require you to divulge all your inner secrets or fears. The fantastic thing about this technique is that all it needs is for you to consciously identify the feelings you want to change.
