How does Matrix Reimprinting differ from EFT?

EFT is essentially a trauma neutralising technique, while Matrix Reimprinting is a holistic re-empowerment technique.

How does it work?

Utilising visualisation combined with Tapping, clients can safely access their original traumatising memories, in which aspects of themselves have become 'frozen in time'.

These inner aspects or parts (known as ECHOs) get triggered every time we encounter anything in life which carries an echo of the originating event, keeping us stuck in self sabotaging behavioural patterns.

Once accessed the visualised ECHOs, often younger versions of ourselves, can be supported and enabled, to create a new empowering outcome. (In this respect Matrix Reimprinting has some similarity with certain styles of Holistic Hypnotherapy, Inner Child Championing and Gestalt 'Parts' work.)

Once the ECHOs achieve a new empowered state of being, the client Reimprints the new energy pattern into their Matrix or energy field. This energy field has been proven, via the science of Epigenetics, to be the true home of our memories and behavioural programming.

Now the client has both eradicated their old negative patterns, and replaced them with new empowering ones, helping to accelerate their progress.

Why choose Matrix Reimprinting?

Matrix Reimprinting has the merit of being one of the few therapeutic interventions able to change hard-wired negative beliefs.

It's one thing to know why we do something, but it's quite another to actually change it. Many people get stuck at exactly this point.

Matrix Reimprinting, informed by our understanding from the world of Quantum Healing, recognises that traumas which get imprinted into our energy Matrix as children, create our behavioural responses in adulthood. Traumas can be as everyday as getting into trouble for something we didn't do, to dramatic events such as a car crash or death of a parent.

However, within the Matrix, those patterns CAN be changed at their source. Once the patterns are changed, they do not revert. Using subjective measurement scales, clients chart their own progress throughout a session, to know without doubt that they are making positive changes.

It is important to know that the original memory of an event remains accessible, but without any emotional charge, alongside the preferred empowering outcome.

How long is a session?

The lengths of sessions vary from therapist to therapist. For example some may offer a longer initial session with shorter focussed follow-on sessions. Others may simply offer standard length sessions of 50 or 60 minutes.

What if there are no Matrix Reimprinting practitioners where I live?

Many therapists offer sessions via Skype, or phone, as the therapy lends itself especially well to this way of working.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required will depend upon many variables.

For example, if a client is working on a very focussed issue, e.g. fear of flying, they might clear it in one or two sessions. However if a client is working in a more general way, say to improve self esteem, then the underlying issues may have multiple aspects and would typically take a number of sessions to work through.

What Training has a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner had?

Matrix Reimprinting is taught only to those therapists who have already achieved EFT levels 1 & 2. Practitioners must pass an exam in order to become Certified in Matrix Reimprinting.

Who Regulates Practitioners?

Matrix Reimprinting along with EFT is currently self-regulated. Registered therapists are bound by the Code of Ethics of their professional Register.

The only Register expressly for Matrix Reimprinting specialists is EFTMRA, (Emotional Freedom Technique Matrix Reimprinting Academy)

Some members of other Meridian Therapy Registers such as AMT and AAMET may have been trained and Certified in Matrix Reimprinting, but to be certain your therapist has been properly trained, the EFTMRA Register is the only reliable resource.

What should I look for in a Practitioner?

Prospective clients are advised to check that their therapist has been Certified in Matrix Reimprinting by EFTRMA.
