One of the 8 change methodologies integrated into IEMT is EMDR. Both work with eye movements. Only, IEMT has more potential to process trauma because IEMT works not only on reducing emotions but also on systemic level (e.g., regarding the “perpetrator”), on level of recurring thoughts (e.g., “I am not safe”) and on identity level (e.g., changed self-image or setting boundaries).

IEMT is thus very effective for the more therapeutic goals, such as:

– severe and mild trauma (single, complex, developmental or (C)PTSD)
– depression & depressive feelings
– tension & stress
– anxiety and anger
– grief and illness processing
