Eye Movement Therapy
Move Beyond Overwhelming Emotional Patterns
At Inner Rhythm, I use the Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) approach—a sophisticated method that combines eye movement techniques with somatic processing, clinical hypnotherapy, and NLP to help you release emotions that have become stuck in your neural circuitry.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, MEMI works directly with your body’s natural processing systems. When difficult experiences occur, emotions can become “frozen” in your neural pathways, creating persistent patterns of stress, anxiety, or overwhelming reactions that feel beyond your control.
The truth about emotional processing: Your eyes aren’t just for seeing—they’re directly connected to the parts of your brain that process and store emotional memory. By engaging specific eye movement patterns while accessing these stuck emotions, we facilitate your brain’s natural ability to reprocess and release what no longer serves you.
How We Support Transformation
Our trauma therapy is designed for individuals who are ready to let go, move forward, and transform their experience into a source of strength. Unlike traditional approaches that may require you to revisit painful memories, our method works with your subconscious mind to release trauma’s energetic hold naturally and safely.
How MEMI Works: The Integration of Four Powerful Modalities
Eye Movement Processing
Guided bilateral eye movements create neurological conditions that allow your brain to reprocess stuck emotional material. The eyes facilitate access to where emotions are stored in neural circuitry, enabling natural resolution.
Somatic Processing
We work with the wisdom of your body, recognizing that emotions aren’t just “in your head”—they’re held in your physical system. By attending to bodily sensations, we access and release what’s been stored somatically.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis creates the optimal brain state for deep processing and integration. In this focused state of attention, your subconscious can safely release attachments and reframe unhelpful patterns at their source.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
NLP techniques help restructure how your mind codes and responds to experiences, allowing you to transform limiting patterns into empowering new responses that serve your future.
Privacy-focused healing
One of the most powerful aspects of Multichannel Eye Movement Integration is that you don’t need to verbally describe or relive difficult experiences. The processing happens at a neurological and somatic level—your conscious mind doesn’t need to revisit the details for your nervous system to release the charge.
The Science: Why Eye Movement Works
Research into eye movement therapies has demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing symptoms of anxiety, stress, and emotional distress. When we engage in bilateral stimulation through guided eye movements, several neurological processes occur:
- Accessing stored emotional memory: Specific eye positions and movements can activate neural networks where emotional experiences are encoded
- Facilitating reprocessing: The bilateral stimulation appears to help the brain reprocess stuck information, similar to what happens naturally during REM sleep
- Reducing emotional charge: As reprocessing occurs, the intensity of emotional reactions typically decreases significantly
- Creating new neural pathways: The brain forms new associations and response patterns to replace the old, unhelpful ones
When combined with hypnotherapy’s access to the subconscious mind, NLP’s pattern restructuring, and somatic processing’s body wisdom, MEMI becomes a comprehensive approach that addresses stuck emotions at multiple levels simultaneously.
What to Expect: Your MEMI Journey
Initial Consultation
We’ll discuss the symptoms or patterns you want to address. You share only what you’re comfortable sharing—the processing doesn’t require detailed disclosure of events.
Establishing Safety
Before any processing work, we ensure you have internal resources and grounding techniques. Your nervous system needs to feel safe for deep work to occur.
Guided Eye Movement Processing
While focusing on the emotional charge or bodily sensation, I guide you through specific eye movement patterns. This bilateral stimulation helps your brain reprocess stuck material.
Somatic Integration
We work with what arises in your body during processing, allowing your physical system to release what it’s been holding. This might involve noticing shifts in tension, temperature, or energy.
Hypnotic Consolidation
Using clinical hypnotherapy, we consolidate the processing and help your subconscious integrate new, empowering patterns in place of the old ones.
Future Orientation
We conclude by orienting toward your desired future—how you want to think, feel, and respond moving forward. This is about claiming your power, not dwelling on what was.
Treatment Duration & Integration
Most clients experience significant shifts within 3-6 MEMI sessions, though this varies depending on the complexity and entrenchment of the patterns being addressed. Some clients notice immediate relief after a single session, while others benefit from a more gradual transformation.
Comprehensive healing approach:Â MEMI can be powerfully complemented by ongoing clinical hypnotherapy to address behavioral patterns, limiting beliefs, or anxiety that originated from difficult experiences. This integrated approach creates lasting transformation at both the emotional and behavioral levels.
Between sessions, integration is crucial. Your nervous system needs time to consolidate the processing work. I may provide gentle homework such as somatic awareness practices, self-regulation techniques, or hypnotic audio recordings to support your continued healing.

Is Eye Movement Therapy Right for You?
MEMI may be ideal if you:
- Feel ready to release emotional patterns that no longer serve you
- Want to heal without having to extensively discuss or relive difficult experiences
- Experience persistent stress or anxiety that feels disconnected from current reality
- Sense that you’re carrying emotional weight in your body
- Struggle with letting go of past events, people, or attachments
- Prefer a solution-focused, forward-thinking approach to healing
- Are committed to your transformation and willing to engage with the process
- Want to transform difficult experiences into sources of wisdom and strength
Important note: MEMI is a powerful approach for emotional processing and symptom relief. While I am certified in Multichannel Eye Movement Integration and experienced in working with complex emotional patterns, I am not a registered psychologist or psychiatrist. This work focuses on helping you process emotions, release unhelpful attachments, and develop empowering patterns—not on diagnosing or treating psychological disorders.
If you’re currently under the care of another mental health professional, I’m happy to work collaboratively as part of your broader support system. If you’re in acute crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline.
