In September 2014, I was privileged
to run the first ever IEMT Training for HypnoBirthing Mongan MethodTM
Practitioners. I have been teaching HypnoBirthing for nearly 20 years and was
part of the team who introduced it into the UK.
I received my IEMT certification in 2014 with Sonia Richards. I have had a strong personal focus on continual healing and growth for over a decade and the IEMT training helped me heal a long-standing identity issue that was holding me back from greater success in my life, and which I had not yet healed using the other healing modalities. What a treat to become trained, certified, and healed all in the same two-day session! Since becoming trained in IEMT, I have used the technique fairly regularly with pregnant moms who have attended my HypnoBirthing® childbirth education classes and who have expressed a need for additional fear release work beyond what is already provided in my classes. However, I had the opportunity recently to use IEMT with two of my three daughters, and it brought about amazing results.
In late October 2014, my 11-year-old daughter, my 7-year-old daughter, and I were in a very bad car accident. Our car was damaged beyond repair, and my girls and I felt emotionally fragile, traumatised, and physically beaten up. For weeks after the accident, my 11-year-old, who is usually very emotionally stoic, cried regularly and followed me around the house. She wanted to be in the room with me, no matter what I was doing, and she repeatedly said through her tears: “I thought you were going to die, mama.”
She and I had many
tear-filled cuddle sessions in the weeks following the accident.
While all three of us started chiropractic care within a couple of days of the accident, the emotional side of the accident weighed heavily on all of us; and although I am a hypnotist as well, I did not feel well enough myself to help my own kids. I started seeking out therapists for them to see, but before I got very far with my research, I thought to myself, “I should use IEMT with the girls and see how that impacts their emotional state.”
After one session
with each of them, both girls felt balanced and grounded, and neither one of
them had any more crying jags about the accident. In fact, my youngest daughter
started chuckling about the accident as she mused, “That was one of the most ridiculous
ways to have a car accident that I can imagine.” Days later, when I mentioned to my
11-year-old that I was thrilled that she was feeling emotionally safer and
independent again, she said, “I never
followed you around the house while crying, Mama. What are you talking about?” I was a bit
stunned by her reaction, but I realised that she was not denying those
feelings; she just truly had a different physical and emotional reaction to the
entire accident—all from our one IEMT session! It was amazing!
