Emotional Mind Integration
Emotional Mind Integration (EMI) is a complete neurotrance psychotherapy founded in 2013 by Yildiz Sethi with its own unique philosophy, theory, process and techniques. It is a brief, phenomenological experiential, psychotherapy that takes place within a light trance. Emotional Mind Integration is designed to work with disturbed emotional mind states (DEMS) which may be experienced by individuals as disturbances, triggers or trauma.
Background Knowledge
From Emotional Mind Integration perspective there is no separation between the brain and body,They areinterconnected. The brain is the primary organ in the body that connects and controls organs, cells and body chemistry. Each thought or emotion travels from the mind to body cells along neural pathways. In return, body cells, senses and body chemistry keep the brain informed as to their state or condition as this is a two way connection. The mind makes meaning of messages from the brain, senses and experiences.
History
Phenomenological here means the psychotherapist attempt to put aside expectations or judgements and adopt an attitude of not knowing, so that the process may be guided by the client’s neural pathways to the causal memories of trauma.
As a psychotherapist, Yildiz was aware that most of the deeper problems that people face are linked to their cause in the subconscious mind (amygdala in the limbic system) through neural pathways).To access this more accurately and efficiently She realized a different methodology other than talk-therapy was required. She became a clinical hypnotherapist.
Hypnotherapy use of psychotherapy in a trance state, and provides access to the subconscious mind. Resource therapy, formerly Ego State Therapy showed the presence of Ego states in human consciousness.
Due to the strong link with the ‘feel good-healthy’ or ‘feel bad- unhealthy’ emotions linked to positive or negative thoughts. This introduced Yildiz to healthy adult resourced states and repressed struggling child states in human consciousness that rise into adult awareness as involuntary, irrational thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Rather than simply putting struggling child states under the care of the adult healthy states, as a solution as Ego State/Resource therapy does which is very helpful, Yildiz developed several steps further for deeper and even more satisfying inner resolutions for individuals.
The process continues to be client-centred solutions and resolutions for deeper completions for the heart and mind. To improve this further Yildiz introduced into the process the knowledge from practice of Family Constellations that love and connection are required at our deepest level of awareness as human beings for wellness. Individuals may shut down from taking in a sense of love due to a perceived lack of love from parents, feeling unsafe, or a sense of injustice, not being seen, heard, or fear in the original causal event that caused the stuck or frozen DEM state to form.
Emotional Mind Integration Healing Pathways created through Yildiz’s knowledge of Family Constellations are used to facilitate a more acceptable completion of the inner disturbance into outcomes that they would have preferred this is under the control of the client with the facilitator guiding.
This is a collaborative process between the client’s healthy needs and preferences, guided by the psychotherapist of what feels right and works well for the client’s heart and mind. This is a brief experiential approach that utilises neuroscience, letting us know that change may take place quickly due to neuroplasticity. Neuroscience lets us know that rewiring of the brain may take place quickly.
Theory
Emotional Mind Integration (EMI) theory involves the idea that individuals are made up of Emotional Mind states (EM states).
Emotional Mind states are emotions linked to experience of emotions and learning through life experiences. This starts at birth where the EM states grow and develop throughout life. Most Emotional Mind states are healthy and functional in assisting individuals to function through daily life. Disturbed Emotional Mind States (DEMS) form due to disappointments, shocks, distressed emotions and trauma and are repressed in the subconscious mind. These become frozen or stuck (DEMS) Disturbed Emotional Mind states. These are felt as disturbances (such as depression, anxiety, panic-attacks, low self-esteem and sabotage), triggers (anger, sadness, fear, ‘not good enough’, defensiveness) or PTSD and sexual abuse trauma. They become the source of many disturbances such as, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and sabotage.
Emotional Mind Integration psychotherapy works with one (DEMS) disturbed Emotional Mind state at a time. Starting with the symptom or disturbance in conscious awareness, (feeling, thought or behaviour) and going through the neural pathway to the disturbed Emotional Mind State causal memory or sensation in the subconscious mind (amygdala). The disturbed state is facilitated for healing or release through a process called EMI Healing pathways where the disturbance is inwardly processed through the guidance of the psychotherapist. The EMI session is concluded with the EMI integration process. This is one session of 60 minutes approximately.
Philosophy
Emotional Mind Integration philosophy takes into account the EMI human requirements for love, connection, safety, justice, dignity and autonomy as a foundation for wellbeing knowing that their absence often leads to Dis-ease. The modality facilitates the resolution of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, recovery of sexual abuse, trauma and the underlying dynamics of addiction in a few sessions.
