Emotional Memory Pattern Release or EMPR Method
My passion for life long learning is insatiable, and last year I was at it again. This time it was the EMPR method, to release and resolve trauma, quickly and without having to rehash your trauma story over and over again.
This particular technique was constructed by my amazing teacher and guru Manna Abraham. This method guides you to access your feelings associated with a traumatic memory and release the emotion along with the beliefs from the mind and body. You still have the memory, just without the painful feelings attached to them. During this process we also work to resolve the thoughts and beliefs that keep you down and stuck. You become free from the pain. Sounds amazing right? It is.
EMPR method explained
“The EMPR Method recognises that trauma is not confined to cognitive experiences—it is stored within the body, leading to a complex interplay of physical and emotional symptoms. By incorporating sensory experience, perceptual understanding, language, spirituality, trauma-oriented somatic practices, meditation, and cognitive restructuring, the EMPR Method offers a comprehensive solution that goes beyond traditional approaches.” emprmethod.com
EMPR has helped me to let go of control, judgement and people pleasing. I found the courage to use my voice, and be OK to be seen. Letting go of my need to worry about the future and stop focusing on the past. I thought I didn’t have any BIG trauma, but this method guides you to deep self inquiry. I realised I had been forgetting somethings, that I had been taken advantage of at 15. The lesson and meaning I made out of that experience back then was simple, what a jerk that guy was and how niave I was for going there in the first place.
It honestly wasn’t until years later did someone make me question it not being ok, I just thought it was a normal experience and to get on with it. I didn’t want to be thought of as frigid or not sexy, I thought it didn’t bother me. Looking back boy did I want to be safe and loved by a man. When I did find a lover, I lived to please and found pleasure in that pleasing. The problem in this pattern of pleasing was that I forgot about my own needs, desires and life purpose.
Add in some major heart break and loss – trauma!
This led to years of keeping quiet, not rocking the boat, it led me to remain small, and afraid to be myself. It highlighted my need to avoid conflict and avoid being rejected. I am sure many of you can relate to my story. We all get stuck in old patterns and ways of being, for example like me, binging on chocolate, lack of motivation to move, not speaking up or simply not prioritising yourself.
What is it you want your life to be like? Set your intention and take steps to get there.
Getting help to shift the old ways and aim for what you want is never a waste of time or money, what else should you invest in if not yourself?
If this sounds interesting, let’s chat about one on one coaching and how I can help you transform those old ways of being and set your inner spirit free.
