How it works
Why where you look changes what you can reach.
It sounds implausible until you have felt it. Move the eyes in a particular way while holding a particular memory, and the memory changes how it sits in you.
The observation underneath it
Eye position and eye movement are not neutral. They are tied to how experience was stored and how it is retrieved. Move them deliberately while a piece of material is active and you get access to something that conversation about the same material does not open.
What it is used for
A single event that is still vivid. A fear with a clear origin. A moment that arrives unasked, out of order, with the same force it had at the time. This is exactly the sort of thing that survives years of talking, because talking is a different filing system.
Being accurate about credentials
My certificate in eye movement integration is from Hypnosis Clearing House, from 2001, and my Brainspotting training is from Pacific Trauma Center, from 2017. I am not EMDRIA certified. I say this on every page where it could be misread, because forty years of practice does not entitle anyone to a credential they did not earn.
Questions people ask about this
- Does this replace working with a doctor?
- No, and it is not offered as medical care. If what you need is medication or a licensed clinician, I am not the right person and I will tell you so.
- Can it be done online?
- Yes, and a large part of my practice is.
How I would work with this
The eyes are a way in. They are not the point. What they reach is the point.
