Master Classes
One- to two-day modules on a specific IEMT theme for Practitioner alumni — taken individually.
IEMT Master Classes
Master Classes are one- to two-day modules on a specific IEMT theme, for Practitioner alumni who want to go deeper on a single element without following an entire Advanced course. Small group, one theme, one weekend. Focused, for those who know which question is in front of them and want a methodical answer to it.
A Master Class takes one element from the IEMT curriculum and works it out from basics to complex application, across two parts or four parts. No broadening of scope, but depth on one subject. The form: short theory blocks, demonstration, peer practice, your own case input, debrief.
Master Classes can be taken individually — no fixed path, no order requirement. Take one because a specific question stands in your practice; take three if you want to deepen broadly. Each one is complete in itself.
Master Classes are intended for those who have mastered the Practitioner material and use it in their own practice. For most Master Classes the Practitioner is the entry requirement; for a few (marked below) Advanced counts as the entry level. If you are still a Practitioner in training or have recently started, book a call first — a Master Class taken too early asks more than it gives.
The following themes are in preparation. Concrete dates and prices are announced per edition; register your interest for a specific theme and I will schedule on the basis of demand.
What the body shows when someone calls up a state, and how you use that observation methodically. PSAC recognition, calibration on subtle cues, the relation to Identity Pattern work, and how you avoid responding to content where observation should come first. One day.
Entry: completed Practitioner.
Austin's three-pillar model of clusters of emotional states — shame/guilt, fear/worry, anger/temper — as a diagnostic frame. How states function transitionally over time, why the order does not fit a linear past–present–future model, and how you use this frame with chronic stress and clients in inconsistent rule environments. One day.
Entry: completed Practitioner.
Austin's five primary patterns of chronicity that protect problems against resolution — three-stage over-reaction, secondary gain, identity-based reluctance, prediction-failure protection and the "unhelpable client". Per pattern: recognition, the IEMT route that works, and the pitfalls every practitioner meets at some point. Two days.
Entry: completed Practitioner; for those who followed Advanced, this Master Class is the deepening of the second day block there.
The Lazy-8 protocol and identity-imprint work in cases where pronoun references (I, Me, Self, You/Other) conflict with one another, or where the identity layer protects emotional charge. For practitioners who have mastered the basic Identity Pattern and want to learn the layered application. One day.
Entry: completed Practitioner.
Working on dilemmas that arise in every practice: dual relationships, informed consent with minors or with reduced capacity, handling disclosures that fall outside the IEMT frame, and building your own supervision structure. Case-focused, with scenario work. One day.
Entry: completed Practitioner. Recommended for practitioners who work solo and have no fixed supervision frame.
Specifically for practitioners who work with clients where significant experiences play in the background. How IEMT relates to other work the client receives elsewhere, how you guard the boundary of your own field, and when referral is wiser than applying IEMT. One day.
Entry: completed Practitioner. The content focuses on IEMT application, not on clinical trauma treatment — that layer is your field, not what I train.
One-day Master Classes have four parts following the four-phase structure you know from the Practitioner: engage / present / implicit / conclude. Two-day Master Classes have eight parts, with more of your own casuistry input on the second day. Lunch break, short interval breaks, ample room for reflection.
The difference from a Practitioner block: you start from a higher point, so the first two parts cover no basic fundamentals — we take those as given. The time that would otherwise go to building up goes here to nuance, case work and methodical refinement.
What I teach: IEMT as a methodical technique in its deeper layers — one specific theme per Master Class. What you bring: your practice experience, casuistry from your work, and the broader context in which you deploy IEMT. For the Master Class on persistent patterns after significant experiences this holds explicitly: I am an IEMT trainer, not a trauma specialist. The clinical responsibility and context remain your field.
Two ways forward:
30 minutes, free of charge. Discuss which theme is live for you right now — sometimes a different theme is more on point than the one you first had in mind.
For those who know which Master Class fits — send an email with theme and context, and I will schedule on the basis of demand.
