The Non-clinical MEMI course is only currently being taught in-person by Brian Simmons, a licensed MEMI trainer. For more information contact Brian via email at [email protected]

Multichannel Eye Movement Integration(MEMI) is an expansion of the original eye movement integration (EMI) technique introduced in 1989 by Steve and Connirae Andreas, two master trainers in the neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)field.  EMI was not developed as a clinical model, because it was based solely on NLP theory and principles. When MEMI was created by Dr. Deninger, he reconceived the approach as a clinical mental health model, but maintained EMI’s strategies and procedures drawn from NLP. This course and certification represent a return to the technique’s roots in NLP, because MEMI’s clinical aspects are not addressed. The course’s non-clinical nature and its associated certification prepare learners who are not licensed mental health practitioners to provide MEMI memory reprocessing services in a variety of settings where this type of assistance has not previously been available.  The course is designed for individuals who are employed by or affiliated with crisis support services providers. This would include life coaches, hypnotists, NLP practitioners, first responders, mental health support personnel, body stabilization workers, military or veterans, and non-profit workers and volunteers.

Participants learn MEMI’s Structure of Experience theory and its five supporting presuppositions, as well as the technique’s procedures, eye movements and strategic vocalizations. Participants also receive instruction in several NLP constructs and strategies embedded in MEMI’s protocol such as eye accessing cues, problem states, resource states, associated and dissociated views, representational systems, submodalities, resource anchoring, V/K/D dissociation and therapeutic dissociation. Recent neuroscience studies explicating the role of eye movements in calming limbic dysregulation are reviewed. Scripts to use during the procedure and a simple method for measuring sensory reactions to threats called the Intensity Scale (I-Scale) are also discussed. 

In order to attain this type of MEMI certification an individual must complete this course, receive a passing grade on a test of course content and complete 10 hours of mentoring in the MEMI model’s application. The individual must also hold current certification in the discipline in which they were trained (e.g. EMS, hypnosis, NLP, massage therapy).
