What is Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration Therapy?
Experience profound healing with our Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) Therapy, specifically designed to address and alleviate trauma. This therapy utilises 4 intricate sets of guided eye movements to help reprocess traumatic memories and changing the stress responses and emotional impact experienced by an individual . During the process of moving the eyes, the client will be asked to think about their traumatic event simultaneously, to allow the re-organization of their traumatic experiences in beneficial ways.
Benefits
-
MEMI helps to dull all reactions related to the traumatic experiences. These include related imagery, intrusive thoughts, sounds, physical and emotional distress.
-
Clients are not required to provide details for the context, to prevent revisting the traumatic experience and causing emotional distress. Instead, clients are simply asked about the images and feelings associated with the event.
-
Short treatment period. Typically, a client requires on average 1 to 3 sessions to experience positive changes in their physiological responses related to their traumas.
What happens during a MEMI session?
According to the NLP model, eye movements to particular locations in a person’s visual fields are associated with the processing of cognitive, kinesthetic and sensory information. Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration Therapy (MEMI) utilises 4 intricate sets of guided eye movements to help reprocess traumatic memories and changing the stress responses and emotional impact experienced by an individual .
01
Therapeutic Dissociation
Client will be guided by therapist to project an image of the traumatic event onto a wall/blank space to create a physical separation (dissociated view) between the client and the traumatic experience.
03
Reorganization of traumatic experience in the limbic brain
As soon as the structures of the traumatic events are re-organized, the limbic system and other parts of the brain in association with our stress responses, will experience changes.
02
Eye Movements to stimulate neurological connections
As the image is projected, client will be guided to move their eyes simultaneously to multiple locations by following 4 sequenced sets of eye movements. After each set of movement, therapist will pause and check in with the client if they experience any changes with regards to the intensity of their physiological reactions to the traumatic event.
04
Decrease in Amygdala baseline activity
Amygdala, the part of the brain whose major role is to detect presence of dangers and prepare our body for fight, flight or freeze responses, might experience a decrease in its baseline activity too. This will allow the individual to stay calm and safe and not react in hyperactive states when recalling the traumatic
