The neuroscience of eye movements for somatic release

Rapid Eye sessions simulate the natural brain rewiring that occurs during REM sleep. Guided by an RET Practitioner while awake and aware, you follow simple eye movement instructions while the practitioner speaks words targeted to the issues you are working on.

This process contains built-in safeguards to avoid re-traumatizing while you release, and a focus on resolving and reframing, making it a safe and effective way to heal past traumas and move forward free of the past.

What do people like about it?

• RET is not talk therapy, so that means you don’t have to tell your “story” again. It can also go very well alongside established counseling sessions to follow up with RET and release the emotional charge stuck in the body.

• RET is science-based. It works on a physiological, neurobiological level to release pain and trauma imprints when intellectualizing your healing isn't enough to get better.

• RET is adaptable for all. There is no damage done to you that would make you unsuitable for this work. Each session is tailored to fit your needs and specific goals, which we will help you clarify if needed. RET promotes each individual’s awareness of their unlimited capability and potential.

• It works! This is the number one reason people like RET. For many, it feels like the impossible finally becomes possible, as they shed the weight of years of unprocessed emotional charge. People are amazed that it doesn’t take long to do this. It’s an easier way to lose the load you’ve been carrying and begin to reclaim your joy!

Does RET work for my particular type of trauma?

Yes. RET practitioners can assist clients with all types of trauma, including acute, chronic, and complex.

What if I don’t have any real trauma?

All people have some kind of trauma. The experience of being criticized by someone while in a vulnerable state could be recorded in the brain and body as a traumatic memory. Many of our original traumatic imprints were formed in childhood, so we may not remember the specifics of how it felt, even though our bodies do. The issues that are currently holding you back are often rooted in coping mechanisms that were developed in response to these original traumas.

Can I do a session online?

Yes! RET sessions can be done remotely. This makes it more accessible for those who don’t have an RET practitioner in their area, who want to work with a specific practitioner, or who want to continue their RET sessions while traveling or in the comfort of your own home.

Is it a spiritual process? What if I don’t believe in the spiritual or woo-woo?

RET honors all spiritual belief systems. It is not affiliated with any particular religious practice, and yet there is a sacredness to this work. We view each individual as a whole, complex being with many interconnected systems, and RET directs each level, including the spiritual level as needed.

You do not need to believe in the woo-woo for RET to be effective. Regardless, at your most fundamental level, you are made of vibrating energy fields and frequencies, as is true for all matter, including your thoughts.

What if I am too emotional or not emotional enough in a session?

RET sessions do not require you to feel emotion for it to work. This process opens neural pathways, directing information to be re-sorted based on your new perceptions. It is a neurological process unaffected by how you perceive or experience your emotional state.

If you often feel overwhelmed by emotions, you might find yourself crying briefly during a session, and that is acceptable and welcomed. Crying is your body's most natural and effective way to process emotion; it's a wonderful mechanism we are all born with. Many people find that after several RET sessions, their bodies have released so much stuck emotion that they are better able to navigate life without feeling overwhelmed by the urge to cry.

What if I have physical issues to address or I suffer from chronic pain?

Processing the emotional trauma of living with chronic pain and ailments will have enormous benefits to your whole system. Pain is created in the brain. A vast neural network works together with the rest of your body to create the experience of pain. The limbic system, where emotion and memory are processed, is one connected part of this network.
