 ====== Integral Eye Movement Therapy ====== ====== 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 the past. Meanwhile, the therapist asks the patient to move the eyes in specific directions. The typical outcome of IEMT is the reduction of negative emotions with an event or an image in mind.+Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a psychotherapeutic modality designed to address intense negative emotional states, facilitate reconnection with the self, and effectively alleviate complex emotional challenges. Developed with the aims of reducing emotional intensity, diminishing self-sabotaging patterns (Patterns of Chronicity), releasing Emotional Imprints (EmI's), and addressing Identity Imprints (IdI's), IEMT offers a comprehensive approach to mental and emotional well-being.
  
 +Central to IEMT practice are the skills of observation, identification, and focused attention on specific behavioral and linguistic patterns. By leveraging these skills, practitioners administer tailored treatment protocols to support clients in navigating their emotional landscapes.

 +An "Identity Imprint" refers to deeply ingrained self-perceptions and beliefs about one's identity that are formed through past experiences. These imprints significantly influence an individual's behavior and emotional responses across different situations.
  
 Identity [[imprinting|imprinting]] occurs throughout life and is constantly evolving and changing. Some aspects of identity are attributed neurologically but mostly occur as a feedback response to the environment. An example of this is the production worker who yesterday was "one of the boys" and today, following promotion to lower management, is now officially an enemy to his former friends and colleagues. Some people will be able to adapt with the appropriate emotional and behavioural adjustments better than others who may find themselves in conflict with themselves. Identity [[imprinting|imprinting]] occurs throughout life and is constantly evolving and changing.
