MEMI is a sensory based innovation in trauma therapy. It uses the entire visual field to facilitate brain processing of traumatic events and maximizes client safety during the session.
By focusing on sensory and somatic elements of events while following several different eye movements, the amygdala is deactivated, patterns are disrupted and memories are consolidated.
Discover the latest advancements in eye movement therapies and gain valuable insights into the transformative potential of MEMI.

Testimonials
“I recently attended Dr. H’s MEMI training, and I can confidently say it was a highly valuable learning experience. As a psychotherapist working with neurofeedback, integrative approaches such as EMDR and Flash Technique, and behavioral neuroscience, I found the program extremely well organized, grounded in solid theoretical foundations, and—most importantly—immediately applicable in clinical practice."

Meet Dr. Maria Gear Haugen
In my practice as a trauma therapist, prior to discovering MEMI, I offered traditional trauma therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), to my clients with PTSD. With MEMI I have found that clients, often with complex presentations, respond quickly with profound changes in their symptomology and their lives.
Unlike cognitive approaches, MEMI focuses on sensory elements of traumatic memories and does not require the recitation of the details of events. This, and additional techniques used in this protocol, enhance client's safety and ability to successfully complete trauma therapy. As a provider, I also appreciate that this has shielded me from secondary trauma and burnout.
I have found that clients who have been unsuccessful with other trauma therapies have been able to find significant relief from their trauma(s) with MEMI. The simplicity, effectiveness and effeciency of this therapy makes it a great fit for generalist providers and trauma specialists alike.
