Eye Movement Integration Therapy (EMIT)
Is EMIT right for you?
Sometimes we understand something logically, but it still feels as though our mind and body haven't caught up.
You might know you're safe now, yet still feel anxious. Or understand that an experience is in the past, yet continue to react as though it's happening in the present.
Eye Movement Integration Therapy (EMIT) uses guided eye movements while working with memories and experiences that continue to trigger strong emotional responses.
The aim is to reduce the emotional intensity associated with those experiences, so they have less influence over how you feel and respond in the present.
EMIT is offered as a dedicated therapeutic process for people wanting to work specifically with this approach.
EMIT may be helpful for...
-
Trauma and distressing life experiences
-
Anxiety and panic
-
Grief and loss
-
Low self-worth
-
Relationship patterns
-
Fears and phobias
-
Stress and overwhelm
-
Emotional triggers
-
Memories that continue to feel emotionally charged
My approach
EMIT is generally focused on a particular experience, emotional response or recurring pattern that continues to affect you.
We'll decide together what feels appropriate to work on and move at a pace that takes your needs and responses into account. You don't need to share every detail of what happened for us to work with it.
If you're already seeing me for individual therapy and we decide EMIT may be useful, we can discuss incorporating a dedicated EMIT process into our work together.
What you can expect
We'll begin by talking about what has brought you here, what you'd like to work on and whether EMIT is an appropriate approach for you.
During EMIT, I'll guide you through a series of eye movements while you notice thoughts, feelings, memories or sensations as they arise. There's no pressure to relive difficult experiences or share more than you feel comfortable sharing.
People respond differently to EMIT. Some notice changes in how emotionally charged a memory feels, while others may need more time or further sessions to work through their experiences
