Eye Movement Integration Therapy The Comprehensive Clinical Guide – Danie Beaulieu

As such, it demands more of the therapist than standard psychotherapies more strength and more courage. The multitude of responses that can arise in any case, at any time, require that the therapist herself be mentally prepared for unpre- dictable and intense experiences. Some therapists, when training in EMI, witness a strong manifestation of distress during a demon- stration and begin to have doubts about their abilities to cope with such responses in their clients. Knowing the range of possible responses, and having the tools to deal with them, will increase the clinician’s confidence in offering EMI to her clients.

In fact, such confidence is essentiaL Among the possible responses that the therapist is likely to wit- ness is the release of strong emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, frustration, or anything that the client felt at the time of the trauma, or has since felt in relation to it.

For most psychothera- pists, dealing with such emotions is an everyday affair, and tech- niques for maintaining a clinical distance along with an empathic stance are well known. These same techniques will serve the EMI therapist well when she is dealing with physical and behavioral responses, and will assist her to feel at ease and capable of handling these intense moments.

Since the client may be frightened to expe- rience strong physical reactions such as a shaking body or spin- ning head, it is vital that the therapist remain calm and accepting. It must also be mentioned that clients may transfer their feelings about the trauma to the therapist, so that a rape victim suddenly may perceive her therapist as a potential threat, and cower in the corner.

A policeman’s fury toward the criminals who shot his col- league may arise without warning, and with all the intensity that he originally felt it, only this time seemingly directed at his thera- pist. These transferences occur in the context of integration, and continued eye movement is the best way to move past that moment of re-experience. Again, finding or developing the resources to meet these challenges is an important part of the preparation for safe and successful performance of EM!.

Eye Movement Integration Therapy A final caution: if the therapist feels inadequately trained or other- wise lacking in confidence to cope with the myriad reactions to which he will be witness, he should not undertake EMI therapy with his clients.

Danie Beaulieu is one of the most lively, innovative and intelligent teachers of psychotherapy that I have ever encountered. Eye Movement Integration Therapy is just one of her many valuable contributions. This rising star is sure to impact our field and impact our effectiveness as clinicians. Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD, Director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Danie Beaulieu presents for the first time a thorough review of the theory and application of Eye Movement Integration, a therapeutic approach to the resolution of trauma and anxiety based on NLP’s eye-movement accessing cues.

From the evidence presented, it is clear that Eye Movement Integration Therapy should be seen as a serious contender to the throne currently occupied by EMDR. Peter Mabbutt FBSCH, FBAMH, Director of Studies, London College of Clinical Hypnosis This is an amazing hook about a clearly very powerful method. The subject of Eye Movement Integration is tackled with great clarity and in great depth. An impressive read, and one that I am sure will be an asset to anyone who wants to add an important tool to alleviating their clients’ problems.

Vera Peiffer, BA(Psych), FAACT, MHS Danie Beaulieu has done an exceptionally thorough job of researching and documenting our original fascinating and powerful technique, to make it possible for others to learn how to use it safely and effectively. Connirae and Steve Andreas, NLP developers, trainers, and authors Dr. Beaulieu has written a splendid book. If you want an addition to your professional library that contains an excellent review of the latest neurophysiology regarding trauma and the brain written in understandable prose, and a splendid, coherent analysis of one of the newest therapeutic techniques for the psychotherapy of trauma-spectrum disorders along with a clear description of how one actually uses the techniques, then this is the book you are looking for.
