CalmER: Evaluating the Effects of Emotional Resolution Therapy on Anxiety in Healthcare Workers CalmER: Evaluating Emotional Resolution® for Anxiety in Healthcare Workers A Clinical Research by UCLA Supporting healthcare workers with an accessible, remote intervention designed to reduce anxiety and improve emotional well-being. This study explores the effects of Emotional Resolution Therapy, or EmRes, compared with an active control intervention called Mindfulness-Based Gratitude, or MBG, among healthcare workers experiencing elevated anxiety. View Study Findings Download Full Study Why This Study Matters Healthcare workers often experience high levels of anxiety, stress, depression, and burnout due to intense work demands. These concerns became even more prominent following the COVID-19 pandemic. Many healthcare workers also face barriers to traditional therapy, including limited time, scheduling issues, cost, and stigma. This study investigated whether a remote, scalable intervention could offer a more accessible form of support. See How the Study Was What Is EmRes? Emotional Resolution Therapy, or EmRes, is a body-focused intervention designed to help individuals process and resolve the physical sensations associated with emotions. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or discussion-based therapy, EmRes works by helping participants become aware of the body’s response to emotional distress and allowing those sensations to resolve naturally. Key Points Remote, one-on-one sessions Body-focused emotional processing Designed to reduce distress linked to anxiety Delivered over a structured 9-week periods Explore the Study Method What Was the Active Control Group? The active control group participated in Mindfulness-Based Gratitude , or MBG . This intervention focused on appreciation, mindfulness, and resilience through practices such as guided meditations, gratitude journaling, and reflective mindfulness exercises. This allowed the study to compare EmRes with another supportive intervention, rather than comparing it to no treatment. How the Study Was Conducted This randomized controlled trial compared EmRes with Mindfulness-Based Gratitude in healthcare workers with elevated anxiety symptoms. Study Details Participants: 124 healthcare workers with follow-up data on the primary outcome Groups: EmRes group: 60 participants MBG group: 64 participants Age Range: 18 to 61 years old Setting: All procedures were completed remotely Timeline: Approximately 19 weeks total Study Phases Baseline Period Week 1 Intervention Period 9 weeks Follow-Up 1 Week 10 Follow-Up 2 Week 19 Review the Outcome Measures Study Measures The study measured anxiety as the primary outcome, with stress and depression as secondary outcomes. Primary Outcome Anxiety Measured using the PROMIS Anxiety Short Form ‎ ‎ Secondary Outcomes Stress Measured using the Perceived Stress Scale Depression Measured using the Beck Depression Inventory Additional Measures Participants also provided physiological data and dried blood spot samples to explore possible biological changes related to the interventions. What the Study Found Both groups showed improvements in anxiety over time. However, participants in the EmRes group reported significantly greater reductions in anxiety compared with those in the MBG group. Key Finding EmRes participants had lower anxiety scores at Follow-Up 1 compared with participants in the Mindfulness-Based Gratitude group. Additional Mental Health Outcomes Stress and depression followed a similar pattern to anxiety, but the effects were not statistically significant in this trial. This suggests that while EmRes showed stronger results for anxiety, additional research may be needed to understand its impact on broader mental health outcomes such as stress and depression. Note: the EmRes Practitioners only focused on anxiety for this clinical research. What These Findings Suggest The findings suggest that EmRes may be an effective, scalable, and accessible remote intervention for healthcare workers experiencing anxiety. Both interventions were associated with improvements over time, but EmRes showed a greater reduction in anxiety by the first follow-up point. This is especially relevant for healthcare settings where workers may need flexible, low-barrier mental health support. Ongoing Analysis Additional analyses will examine whether the effects of EmRes are sustained over time. The next stage of the study will review: Follow-Up 2 data Sleep, activity, and stress data Inflammatory cytokines from dried blood spot samples Changes from baseline to Follow-Up 1 Why This Matters for Healthcare Systems Remote mental health interventions like EmRes may provide a valuable support option for healthcare workers who face occupational stress and limited access to traditional care. For organizations, scalable interventions may help create more accessible pathways for emotional support, especially in high-pressure clinical environments.

A Quick Fix Guide to Healing Trauma with Cedric Bertelli 'In 30 minutes, anyone can resolve any kind of emotional difficulties… permanently' This is the belief of Cedric Bertelli , Founder of the Emotional Health Institute. Originally from the South of France, Cedric moved to California as a chef, then managed restaurants. All his life he had felt very anxious and experienced bouts of anger and low grade depression. He was always trained to find ways to make himself feel better, Psychotherapy or far out methods like beating pillows or running around a fire! Fuelled by anger towards a co-worker and the need for a better way to control his emotions, Cedric discovered the T.I.P.I programme and began telephone consultations with a consultant in France. The programme claims that in 30 mins anyone can resolve, permanently, any harmful emotion. The consultations allowed Cedric to learn the technique which allowed him to resolve his emotional difficulties by himself.He discovered that Anger is the repercussion of fear. Enthralled by this technique, Cedric quit his job at the Ritz and moved back to France to study it in detail. He now teaches people how to resolve emotional patterns.

Enhance your emotional wellness with the Emotional Health Institute. Discover Emotional Resolution (EmRes) techniques to address disruptive emotions and build resilience. Our certified practitioners and online trainings provide tools for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges through somatic quieting, empowering lasting emotional well-being. Emotional Wellness Learn Emotional Resolution® with EmRes® Training Emotions are a natural and essential part of human life. They influence how we perceive situations, respond to challenges, connect with others, and navigate our everyday experiences. Sometimes, however, an emotional response can become disproportionate to what is actually happening: anxiety arises when there is no apparent danger, a particular situation repeatedly triggers anger, or a fear persists even though we know rationally that we are safe. Contemporary neuroscience increasingly understands emotions not as reactions produced by a single part of the brain, but as complex experiences involving the brain, body, nervous system, previous experience, and our perception of what is happening in the present moment. Emotional Resolution® (EmRes®) is a somatic approach that works with an important part of this process: the physical sensations that arise in the body during an emotional response. Rather than trying to replace a negative emotion with a positive one, analyze its psychological origins, or consciously change the way we think, EmRes teaches us to allow the body's sensory response to unfold without interference. Through a process called Viscero-Somatic Quieting™, attention is directed toward internal bodily sensations as they naturally change and subside. When this process reaches completion, the recurring emotional response associated with a particular situation can lose its automatic intensity. The goal is not to become emotionless or permanently calm. It is to allow appropriate emotions to arise while reducing the influence of recurring emotional patterns that no longer serve us. Learning EmRes® The Emotional Health Institute offers EmRes training for individuals and professionals who want to develop a practical understanding of emotional resolution. Participants learn about the relationship between emotions and bodily sensations, how to recognize recurring emotional patterns, and how to use the principles of EmRes safely and effectively. Professional training goes further, providing a structured pathway for those who want to incorporate Emotional Resolution® into their work and, ultimately, become Certified EmRes Practitioners. EmRes has been taught to health professionals, educators, parents, coaches, and individuals seeking a different way to approach recurring difficulties such as anxiety, fears, stress, anger, and other debilitating emotional patterns. At the heart of the training is a different relationship with emotion: rather than controlling, suppressing, or redirecting an emotional response, we learn how to support the body's natural capacity for resolution.

Gain insights into the science behind emotional resilience and explore how EmRes can support personal growth, reduce stress, and improve emotional health. What is EmRes ? ® Viscero-somatic Quieting At the base of Emotional Resolution® or EmRes® is a precise process which we call Viscero-somatic quieting. Watch a Presentation on the Neuroscience behind EmRes: Here 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.

Learn about interoception and its role in Emotional Resolution with the Emotional Health Institute. Discover how understanding and enhancing interoception—our awareness of internal body sensations—can improve emotional well-being, help resolve disruptive patterns, and foster resilience. Explore our training sessions and resources on EmRes for a deeper connection to emotional health. Interoception and Emotional Health Understanding the Body’s Role in Emotion What happens in your body when you feel anxious, afraid, angry, or overwhelmed? You might notice tightness in your chest, a knot in your stomach, changes in your breathing, warmth in your face, trembling, pressure in your throat, or a shift in your heartbeat. These internal bodily sensations are closely connected to our emotional experiences—and our ability to perceive them is known as interoception. What Is Interoception? Interoception is the nervous system’s process of sensing, interpreting, and integrating signals originating from within the body. These signals provide the brain with ongoing information about the body’s internal state, including changes related to heart rate, breathing, temperature, digestion, muscle tension, and other physiological processes. Interoception plays an important role in maintaining the body’s internal balance, but research also increasingly recognizes its relationship with emotion and emotional health. Emotions are not simply thoughts occurring in the brain. They involve continuous interactions between the brain and body. The sensations we experience during fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, excitement, and other emotional states are part of this ongoing communication. Interoception and Emotions Contemporary neuroscience has moved beyond the idea that emotions are generated by a single “emotional center” in the brain. Emotional experiences emerge through distributed brain networks interacting with sensory information, previous experience, context, and signals coming from within the body. Interoception provides an important window into this process. When an emotional response occurs, changes throughout the body may be experienced as sensations: constriction, pressure, heat, movement, trembling, changes in breathing, increased heart rate, or sensations in the abdomen, chest, throat, and other areas. Usually, our attention quickly shifts toward the meaning of the emotion: Why am I anxious? Why did this upset me? How can I make this feeling stop? Emotional Resolution® (EmRes®) takes a different approach. Interoception and Emotional Resolution® EmRes uses the direct perception of bodily sensations as a pathway toward the resolution of recurring emotional patterns. Rather than analyzing the story associated with an emotion, attempting to control the response, or deliberately replacing it with a more positive state, EmRes invites attention toward the physical sensations that are present when the emotional response is activated. This process, which we call Viscero-Somatic Quieting™, involves perceiving internal sensations without attempting to interpret, modify, intensify, or suppress them. As attention remains with the sensory experience, the sensations naturally evolve. They may move, change in intensity or quality, and eventually subside. The objective is not emotional regulation in the conventional sense. EmRes is based on the possibility that, under appropriate conditions, the body can complete an emotional sensory response without conscious intervention. Developing a Different Relationship With Emotion Interoceptive awareness can help us recognize that an emotion is not only a thought, story, or psychological interpretation. It is also an embodied experience. EmRes builds upon this fundamental connection between interoception, bodily sensations, and emotions. By learning to experience these sensations without immediately trying to control or explain them, we can develop a fundamentally different relationship with difficult emotions—one centered not simply on managing emotional responses, but on supporting their natural capacity for resolution. At the Emotional Health Institute, we teach Emotional Resolution® to individuals, health professionals, educators, parents, and practitioners seeking practical tools for working with recurring emotional difficulties.

Download the Article A Multidisciplinary Approach to IBS Care Irritable bowel syndrome is described in the article as one of the most common functional intestinal disorders, with symptoms such as abdominal pain and bowel transit issues that can significantly affect quality of life. This study evaluated a care pathway that combined medical expertise, dietary consultation, and psycho-emotional support using EmRes®. How the Study Was Conducted The research was a retrospective observational longitudinal cohort study involving 50 patients followed over a 6-month period. The care pathway began with an initial day-hospital stage, followed by 4 scheduled EmRes® sessions. Patients were included between September 2022 and May 2023. 50 Patients Observed over a 6-month period 4 EmRes® Sessions Scheduled after the initial care stage Multimodal Care Medical, dietary, and psycho-emotional support Observed Patient Outcomes The study reported that 62% of patients had a significant reduction in IBS symptom severity score. It also reported that 58% of patients noted improved quality of life, 46% noted a reduction in digestive symptoms related to EmRes®, and 94% would recommend the care approach. 62% Reported significant reduction in IBS severity score 58% Reported improved quality of life 46% Reported reduced digestive symptoms linked with EmRes® 94% Would recommend the care pathway What the Study Suggests The article suggests that a multidisciplinary approach including EmRes® may be helpful for patients with IBS, especially for those with more severe symptoms.
