Integral eye movement therapy
|
|
Integral eye movement therapy (IEMT) is a psychotherapy model that aims to reduce intense negative emotional states. In this model, the patient is asked to recall and maintain a negative image of an event that was experienced in past. Meanwhile, the therapist asks the patient to move the eyes in specific direction. The usual outcome of IEMT is the reduction of negative emotions with an event or an image in mind. History The roots of this model could be traced to Steve Andreas and Connirae Andreas's eye-movement integration therapy and Francine Shapiro's eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and was also influenced by David Grove's ideas about exploring identity through the use of pronouns. |
