IEMT

As defined by and with thanks to Andrew T. Austin:

IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy)

• Is a model built around addressing and resolving The 5 Patterns of Chronicity

• Has applications in resolving PTSD

• Traumatic imagery is largely irrelevant to the process

• Addresses imprints of emotion for creating kinaesthetic change

• Addresses imprints of identity for creating change in self concept

• Uses eye movement as the dominant mechanism for change

• By design readily creates introspection and an alpha state with free floating imagery
• Prior qualification is not necessary for training in IEMT

• Developed from an original idea from Steve and Connirae Andreas by Andrew T. Austin

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

• Is a model built around resolving trauma

• Is an application for resolving PTSD

• Traumatic imagery is central to the work and the client is encouraged to “observe” trauma

• Uses eye movement as well as tapping and alternating sounds

• Utilises affirmations and positive belief statements
• Developed from an original idea from John Grinder by Francine Shapiro

• Only psychologists, medical professionals and medical professionals in training can be officially certified in EMDR ( for details please visit this link> http://www.emdria.org/?page=60 )
