Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) is a bottom-up method that addresses PTSD symptoms at their source in the limbic system using an eye movement approach. It’s primary intention is to quickly resolve sensory dysregulation around traumatic experiences and ingrained beliefs. The beauty of MEMI is it can be applied with other methods and at any stage of care ( Once relational alliance has been formed ) or used as a Stand Alone for Anchoring Resources, or Therapeutic Dissociation.
Brain research and clinical results suggest this treatment offers a more direct and effective path to PTSD symptom resolution than cognitive methods, because Irrational cognitions are automatically reorganized when somatic and sensory reactions to recalled traumas are desensitized: MEMI does not illicit re-tramatizing, nor is it considered cognitive or behavioral, but described as organic, limbic, neurological, linguistic and systemic
“Unlike other forms of psychological disorders, the core issue in trauma is reality.”
