IRT for kids

(from the discontinued RET Forum)
by Charlotte Garland, MRET

You never know when you may need IRT. A 5 year old little girl had received her immunizations for the 1st time just before starting school this year. She reported that before she falls asleep each night, she remembers the time she went to the doctor and all the places she was given shots. This was causing her not to sleep and she was very upset about it.

Research into Eye Movements to Assess Memory

(from the discontinued RET Forum)

Scientists may have discovered a way to glean information about stored memories by tracking patterns of eye movements, even when an individual is unable (or perhaps even unwilling) to report what they remember. The research, published by Cell Press in the September 10th issue of the journal Neuron, provides compelling insight into the relationship between activity in the hippocampus, eye movements, and both conscious and unconscious memory.

Handling Control with Duplication

(from the discontinued RET Forum)

Some clients want to control the flow of a process once they learn how it’s done. They want to tell you how to do the wand, how to speak to them during RET, and even how to do RET. Sometimes these clients will want to analyze their stuff, turning the tables on the therapist.

RET Wand Pattern found in hippocampus

Evidence for grid cells in a human memory network
Evidence for grid cells in a human memory network

University College London researchers have discovered that the brain lays out a grid of cells that represent a map of spacial orientations and locations in space. In an interesting coincidence, the Rapid Eye Technology (RET) eye directing device (called a wand) is moved in a hexagonal 3D pattern just in front of the face – a pattern that due to its spacial character may be very familiar to the aforementioned part of the brain.
