A New Technique to Overcome Recurrent and Negative Memories
Level I Workshop
Eye Movement Integration (EMI) is a powerful and yet very simple neurotherapeutic tool to effectively help clients who suffer from recurrent and negative memories from any traumatizing experience, including those with PTSD. The approach was created by Connirae and Steve Andreas in 1989, and has been substantially modified and developed since that time by Dr. Danie Beaulieu.
As the name implies, EMI uses the natural interrelationship of eye movements and thought processes to aid in the integration of distressing memories with beneficial, counter-balancing memories and information. Natural resolution of memories is sometimes blocked after traumatic experience, and these memories may remain isolated and fragmentary. Like a shot of concentrated bleach, a trauma lead to caustic damage to the mental health of the victim, including the types of symptoms seen in posttraumatic stress disorder and other stress reactions.
EMI assists the client to return to the natural process of integration by stimulating access to multisensory memory traces left by the trauma itself and by diverse, positive, ameliorating experiences. Like adding clear water to bleach, EMI dilutes the traumatic experience with good recollections, rendering it harmless – even purifying.
This avant-garde neurotherapeutic technique produces very rapid results, definitively and completely freeing the client from the problematic effects of overwhelming experience. The technique is applicable not only to major traumas – such as rape, sexual abuse, conjugal violence, armed robbery, other victimization or witnessing of crimes, war, natural disaster, etc. – but also to any situation that results in a chronic and uncontrollable emotional reaction.
Just as overwhelming experience can have far-reaching toxic effects in the lives of victims, so does EMI have widespread beneficial effects for the clients fortunate enough to receive this highly effective brief therapy.
EMI is a true gift to offer yourself, to then give it in turn to all those people who have become victims of their own minds!
The objectives for this workshop are:
to master the basic principles of the EMI approach
to discover the stages of EMI treatment
to identify the type of client problems that can be addressed with EMI
to learn how to overcome client resistance
to explore the appropriate precautions to take with clients
to investigate the possible mechanisms involved in the treatment.
Schedule : from 8h30 to 5h30
