In an exciting opportunity, Nigel Hetherington, from Communicating Excellence, has agreed to come to London to present his 2 day workshop on Trauma Resolution: EMI Plus.
For those who have not used EMI before, you will be taken through everything you need to know – prior knowledge is not necessary,
If you already have experience of EMI you will already know just how incredibly powerful it can be in resolving past traumas and you will find that the EMI Plus training adds new dimensions to the use of EMI, and because it is experiential in nature over a full two days, will mean that you will leave the weekend totally ready to use it in a powerful way in your practice.
I am fortunate enough recently to have been on Nigel’s training in Newcastle,  and I found that it took my confidence and competence of using EMI to a totally new level and not just for trauma.This is a way to work completely content free and is brilliant when working with children. I was also surprised to learn how it can be used to create and generate positive states with an interesting twist on future timeline!

These workshops are normally run only in Newcastle, so I am really pleased that Nigel has agreed to offer this quality training in London.

EMI Plus
Eye Movement Integration Plus is a very brief and content free process for resolving psychological traumas such as PTSD, intrusive memories, shame, guilt and other kinds undesirable emotional and identity imprints.

This technique incorporates NLP EMI with Hypnosis, Humour and Breathing Techniques. There is nothing else like this complete process. It is called EMIPlus.

“This course offers so much even if, as I had, you’ve already learnt and used basic EMI techniques. It is exceptionally well presented and gives a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of EMI, including simple explanations of how and why it works. But in combining EMI and Time Line techniques it offers a new and extraordinarily effective procedure for the resolution of many types of symptom that can be linked to traumatic experience.” – Nick Rolfe

Most people during their life time have had experiences that have been traumatic, painful or negatively emotionally charged. These experiences, all kinds of problematic responses to past events, are all part of the rich tapestry of life and commonly know as Trauma, Grief, Guilt, PTSD, Shame. Usually the intensity of the experience fades in time and people are OK.

But other times there are one, two or more memories that just seem to pop up from nowhere or surface unannounced and then all the unwanted emotional energy is there. Its painful, unpleasant and unwanted. And very often, people suffer for long periods of time, way longer than is actually necessary.

As a counsellor, therapist or anyone who is working with client trauma, you want proven and recognised ways to help your clients out of the black emotional cloud of pain and suffering as rapidly and as ecologically as possible. Your clients are typically coming to see you because they are experiencing some form of emotional pain. All of the emotional states discussed above can be successfully treated and neutralised with Eye Movement Integration Plus.

EMI Plus is not EMDR. You do not need to belong to an elite group or have to pay thousands of pounds to use this Brief Therapy method.

EMI is a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost of EMDR training and is applied with precision and skills by the EMI practitioner, surprisingly easy to learn and a particularly robust clinical process.

“I found the material and the presentation excellent, what I have seen of the Generative Change process fills some big gaps in my conventional NLP training and the EMI allow the body mind to connect and integrate the release of emotional issues in a very clear and clean way!“ Feras Jerjis

EMI Background
Eye Movement Integration was developed by Steve and Connirae Andreas in America in 1989.

The Neuro Linguistic Eye Accessing Model states when someone ‘thinks’, their eyes will typically move in some sequence. The sequence of unconscious eye movements will give clues and cues to how they are thinking. There is often a ’sequence’ of eye movements ( and certain physiology ) when a person re-experiences troublesome and problematic memories.

As a person moves their eyes, their eye movement access specific brain locations and brain processing functions. Parts of the brain that are know to be active when we re-access memories overlap spatially, for example the auditory and visual cortex and as well the different processing functions integrate memory components to produce a full and integrated sensory experience of some memory.

By linking the full array of possible eye movements ( or a sub set ) when the client is associated into their undesired state, through eye movement sequences we intend to make all the clients neurological resources available to them to remove or neutralise all negatively charged emotional response to their problem emotional state.

Attendee Goals and Outcomes

The result is you will have more referrals from delighted clients and you will increase your understanding of ecological and systemic change processes. And by increasing your effectiveness, you will also be able to treat more clients in the same time.
