What's the difference between IEMT and EMDR?

Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are both therapeutic approaches that use eye movements to help clients process and resolve emotional and psychological issues. However, there are key differences between the two:

EMDR is based on the idea that traumatic memories are improperly processed and stored in the brain, leading to distress. EMDR aims to reprocess these memories so they are no longer distressing.

IEMT is based on the idea that undesired emotions and behaviors are often linked to specific imprints in a person’s identity. IEMT seeks to address these imprints by changing the way they are neurologically encoded, without necessarily focusing on trauma.
