Viscero-somatic Quieting
At the base of Emotional Resolution® or EmRes® is a precise process which we call Viscero-somatic quieting.

How Does Emotional Resolution® (EmRes®) Work?
Our brain and body continuously learn from experience. When a present situation resembles a past threat, an old protective response can be automatically reactivated, creating a difficult emotional reaction—even when the present situation is safe.
EmRes® works directly with the physical sensations that emerge during these emotional reactions. By experiencing these sensations without trying to understand, control, or suppress them, we allow them to naturally transform and quiet through a process called Viscero-Somatic Quieting.
This process can help update emotional responses shaped by the past, allowing us to respond to the reality of the present.
Experiencing EmRes®
A Certified EmRes® Practitioner can guide you through this process during a session or when a difficult emotion is occurring.
The goal is not to control or suppress emotions, but to resolve recurring emotional reactions that no longer belong to the present.
Where do these physical sensations come from?
According to current models of neuroscience, the brain continuously anticipates and interprets signals coming from within the body—a process known as interoception. These predictions are shaped by past experiences and help the brain prepare the body to respond to what it expects will happen next.
Sometimes, a response learned during a highly stressful or threatening experience can be reactivated even when the present situation is safe.
EmRes® works with these interoceptive sensations as they emerge, allowing an outdated emotional response to be experienced from the safety of the present moment and potentially updated.
