Thanks for this video, Matt! I’ve read the EMDR manuals in Dutch, very interesting books. I’ve also been looking into EMI-therapy and Kinetic shift. All 4 models use eye movements… But that’s about the only thing they have in common.

Kinetic shift is just a bunch of fluff and “showmanship”. It uses eye movements just because it looks cool. It’s really a bunch of NLP-hypnotist showoff ego m@sturb@t!0n.

I have experienced EMDR as a client (years ago) and IEMT both as a client and a (new) practitioner.

The reason I first took the IEMT course was because I wanted to learn about the eye movement techniques. Basically I had a very good experience with EMDR and I wanted to be able to use the techniques, but EMDR is an “elite sport”, not for the “common folk”.

And I feel IEMT goes deeper than EMDR, both as a concept (identity, ptsd model, 3 pillars…) and as an experience. What annoyed me at first was the fact there wasn’t a set x-step protocol in IEMT, but that was because my lack of experience. Now I really appreciate the fact that IEMT allows to “jazz”.
