How Full-Field Eye Movements Heal Trauma: The MEMI Method for Faster Recovery & Lasting Change

Send us Fan MailWhat turns a promising modality into a true game-changer? In Part 2, Dr. Supatra Tovar and trauma psychologist Dr. H Haugen (Dr. H) go deeper into Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI)—how Dr. H discovered it, why she now trains clinicians to use it, and what makes results feel more durable than exposure-heavy approaches. You’ll hear how MEMI engages the entire visual field to disrupt stuck recall loops, why clients don’t have to retell their story, and the exact safety tools (anchoring, therapeutic dissociation, physical grounding, client control at every step) that keep sessions tolerable—even for those who previously turned around in the parking lot.We unpack the origin story (book → training → consultation), current research momentum (case studies underway; growing clinician interest), and use cases spanning “big-T” and “small-t” trauma—combat, grief, childhood adversity, relationship ruptures, anxiety, and depression. Dr. H shares striking clinical outcomes, explains how progress is measured across sensory channels (sight, sound, body, emotion) with simple 0–4 scales, and clarifies what happens after the target resolves: rebuilding routines, confidence, relationships, and identity so life expands again.What you’ll learnWhy MEMI can feel safer and faster than EMDR/PE/CPT when verbal exposure isn’t toleratedHow full-field eye movements may be the missing piece for clients who stalled on EMDRThe three safety pillars: anchoring, therapeutic dissociation, and physical groundingHow to track completion with sensory distress scaling and client-led satisfaction checksWhy MEMI opens doors for “problem states” beyond formal PTSD diagnosesThe pathway for clinicians: book → on-demand training → consultation → real-world outcomesAction stepsIf you’re a clinician, identify one client for a sensory-first target (no story retell).If you’re a survivor, try an externalization drill: “cast” the image on a wall to create distance, then do a 90-second longer-exhale breath reset.Save Dr. H’s contact to explore training or referrals: [email protected] and the MEMI training hub at eyemovementintegration.com.About the Guest, Dr. H Gear, here are her social media links https://multichanneleyemovementintegration.com/maria-gear-haugen/,   https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-maria-g-1a379b46/ Learn more about trauma recovery, mind-body healing, and psychology at ANEW Insight.Continue your journey • Book: Deprogram Diet Culture → anew-insight.com/book • Course: Deprogram Diet Culture (ANEW Insight) → anew-insight.com/course • Watch more episodes & subscribe → youtube.com/@my.anew.insight • Podcast + resources → anew-insight.com #memitherapy, #multichanneleyemovementintegration, #emdrvsmemi, #traumatherapy, #ptsdhealing, #traumainformed, #therapeuticdissociation, #anchoring, #groundingtechniques, #drsupatratovar  #drmariagear #anewinsightpodcast  #supatratovar #drt #deprogramdietculture #nutrionalpsychology  #sensorybasedtherapy, #limbicsystem, #memoryreconsolidation, #nonverbalhealing, #exposurefree, #cpt, #drh #prolongedexposure, #cliniciantraining, #casestudies, #traumapodcast, #anewinsight, #drsupatratovar, #drmariahaugen, #mentalhealtheducation, #healingtools, #neuroscienceandtherapySupport the showThank you for joining us on this journey to wellness.
