IEMT Q&A 27th Jan 2026 with Matt Kendall
-----------
In IEMT is it important the speed of the finger/eye movements?
I read an experiment with EMDR eye movements where the fast speed EM got better results than slow speed EM.
-----------
Just had a consultation and the client has cataracts. One eye already operated and he's waiting on surgery for the other eye. He can see and move his eyes around...assume IEMT should still work fine?
-----------
After two rounds of the intro demo the emotion is still 5/10. What do I do now?
-----------
Can IEMT be used in conjunction with CBT?
-----------
How do I get myself out there and seen?
-----------
My client is a 23-year-old woman. When she was much younger, she underwent EMDR therapy. She is still struggling significantly with fear of failure.
She reports that when she receives critical feedback during an evaluation, she immediately goes into panic and thinks: I did badly.
In the first session, I worked with memories related to failure.
In the second session, I focused on the identity belief “I am not good enough” and applied the I, Me, Self, You protocol.
I applied the I, Me, Self, and You protocol three times. There was only a small shift in age perception: for I, from 15 to 20 years old, and for Self, from 17 to 19 years old.
What stood out to me is that she has difficulty accessing memories during the sessions.
The feeling is familiar to her, but she is unable to access any specific memories.
What would you advise me to do next?
-----------
One additional point: She does report a small change in daily life following the sessions. Recently, she was not feeling emotionally well. Normally, this would trigger thoughts such as “I have to do well” and “What if it goes wrong?”, accompanied by strong self-imposed pressure.
This time, however, she noticed a different internal response: “It can happen that I’m not having a good day. If it goes wrong, then it goes wrong.” She herself describes this shift as a baby step.
