Rapid Change Without the Story: Integral Eye Movement Technique | Matt Kendall (NCCH 2026)

Why do some clients stay trapped in the exact same emotional loops, no matter how many hours they spend talking through their past? ​In this conversation, Amanda Joy sits down with Matt Kendall—one of the UK’s senior Trainers in Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT) and founder of Interesting Talks London—to break down how eye-movement work creates rapid neurological shifts without needing clients to relive or retell traumatic stories. ​Matt explains how unresolved emotional imprints ("How did I learn to feel this way?") and rigid identity imprints ("I am just an anxious person") become hardwired into the nervous system, and how precise, content-free eye-movement algorithms allow clients to update outdated patterns in minutes. ​Matt will be delivering a live keynote masterclass at the upcoming NCCH Autumn Convention 2026: "Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT): Rapid Emotional Imprints & Identity Shifts in Clinical Practice." ​In this conversation, we explore: ​How Matt went from a skeptical hypnotherapist to training alongside developer Andrew T.
