This site gives you access to highly trained, certified professionals who can guide you to resolve disruptive emotional patterns. Here you will also find the complete list of courses and trainings we offer to individuals and professionals . Few words about EmRes® EmRes aims to resolve recurring painful and debilitating emotions through Viscero-somatic quieting (also known as Somatic quieting). Mammals have an innate capacity for emotional resilience. We witness this phenomenon in wild animals in their natural habitat--they do not hold on to trauma, they integrate their experiences somatically as soon as they reach a safe environment. This is in sharp contrast to humans, domestic animals, and even farm animals, who remain sensitive to various conscious or subconscious threats linked to an original trauma. EmRes is a body of work crafted to gently and safely guide individuals to reconnect with their intrinsic capacity for emotional resilience, enabling them to integrate and resolve hurtful or debilitating emotional reactions such as anxiety, anger, lack of self confidence, post-traumatic stress, etc. The goal of EmRes is to allow us to feel the emotions congruent with our current reality, rather than being overwhelmed by emotions from our past that are re-triggered by currently harmless stimuli. Check our collection of Real Case Studies using EmRes Download PDF What is Viscero-somatic quieting? Every emotion we feel is the result of a coalescence of physical sensations in our body. EmRes connects you to the physical sensations present in your body during a painful emotion and utilizes them to update obsolete emotional reactions. If we take the time to experience a recurring difficult emotion through its sensations in a safe environment, without trying to understand it, control it, and without dwelling in it, we will give our body the space to accomplish a natural cycle of viscero-somatic quieting. At the end of this cycle, the "quieted" emotion will be resolved. More info here .

  • What Is EmRes? | Emotional Health Institute – Emotional Resolution for Lasting Well-being

    Learn about EmRes (Emotional Resolution) at the Emotional Health Institute. Discover how EmRes uses somatic quieting to help individuals naturally resolve disruptive emotional patterns. 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 What is EmRes®? Our body keeps somatic traces of all our traumatic experiences. When exposed to a stimulus that reminds the body of a past danger, the viscero-somatic memory linked to this danger is reactivated, creating the base of a disruptive emotional response . EmRes® helps the body recognize that the perceived danger is nowadays obsolete. EmRes® allows the body to integrate traumatic information and to tune-in to our current reality instead of reacting through a past memory. To do this, we commit to experiencing the viscero-somatic response, without controlling our physical sensations or our environment. How does EmRes® Work? EmRes® connects you to the origin of a difficult emotion through your physical sensations and modulates the unwanted emotional response permanently. This simple yet rarely used physiologic capacity is innate to all human beings. Our certified practitioners can apply EmRes® during a session or at the moment of an emotional resurfacing. Where do these physical sensations come from? From the current understanding of neuroscience, these sensations are predictions of the brain, based on past highly stressful experiences . In her theory of how emotions are constructed, Lisa Feldman Barrett explains that “in every waking moment, your brain uses past experience, organized as concepts, to guide your actions and give your sensations meaning. When the concepts involved are emotion concepts, your brain constructs instances of emotion.” EmRes® allows the brain to update outdated predictions by consciously observing the obsolete interoceptive prediction from a safe, present-day perspective.

  • Quantum Science Approach to EmRes® | EHI

    Explore an article by Gayathri Shylesh on a quantum science approach to emotional resolution, interoception, EmRes®, and the vital energy body. Quantum Science Approach to EmRes® in the Vital Energy Body This article explores emotional resolution through the lens of quantum psychology, interoception, viscerosomatic sensing, Ayurveda, and the vital energy body. It presents an alternative framework for understanding emotional hyperarousal, trauma responses, and mental health challenges. Download Article A Quantum Psychology Perspective on Emotional Resolution The article presents a quantum psychology view of emotional resolution, where consciousness, body sensations, feelings, and awareness are discussed as part of the human emotional experience. It introduces viscerosomatic quieting as an approach that may support emotional regulation alongside conventional care. Understanding the Body’s Response to Emotional Stress The article discusses how traumatic experiences, emotional shock, mood extremes, delusions, or hallucinations may involve hyperaroused emotional patterns held in the body-mind. It explains how later stimuli may retrigger those patterns through memory, body sensations, and interoceptive cues. Working With Feelings as Body-Based Sensations A central theme of the article is the role of awareness in recognizing how emotional triggers appear as physical sensations in the body. These may include sensations such as vibration, tingling, temperature changes, tightness, tension, pressure, or stagnation. Awareness Recognizing what is happening in the body Interoception Sensing internal body cues Emotional Regulation Allowing emotional patterns to shift How EmRes® Is Discussed in the Article The article describes EmRes® as a process that uses interoceptive awareness for viscerosomatic quieting. It explains that a trained EmRes® practitioner guides a client to feel bodily sensations connected to an emotional trigger, without needing to access the original trauma or memory directly. A Single-Subject Case Study The article describes the research as a quantitative, single-subject case study. The study involved a 52-year-old American woman with a mixed clinical diagnosis of bipolar Type II depressive disorder and/or schizoaffective disorder. The client self-reported symptoms weekly over a 16-week period, with meetings held twice a week through livestream video. 16 Weeks Recognizing what is happening in the body Single-Subject Sensing internal body cues Twice Weekly Allowing emotional patterns to shift Self-Reported Allowing emotional patterns to shift Reported Changes Over the Study Period At the end of the 16-week study period, the article reports improvements including a lapse of hallucinations, reduced paranoia around co-workers, renewed interest in life, improved socialization, and greater willingness to participate in self-care practices. The article also notes that the client’s mental health challenges were ongoing. Reduced Emotional Intensity Reported decrease in some symptoms Greater Self-Awareness Improved ability to distinguish thoughts and events Improved Socialization Renewed engagement with others Ongoing Challenges Continued need for care and support Read the Full Article The full article includes the author background, theoretical framework, literature references, research methodology, emotional resolution approach, results, discussion, summary, and bibliography.

  • A Neurologically-Informed Explanatory Case Study for EmRes®

    An explanatory case study exploring somatic quieting, emotional regulation, and the possible neurological mechanisms involved in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms. A Neurologically-Informed Explanatory Case Study for EmRes® This case study explores how somatic quieting may support emotional regulation by working with body sensations, interoception, and nervous system response. It presents a neurological perspective on how emotional distress may shift when the body is guided toward a calmer state. View Study Findings Download the PDF Understanding Somatic Quieting Somatic quieting is described as a process where emotions calm through the nervous system, rather than through active control of thoughts or behavior. The study explains how emotional responses may become connected to body sensations, and how awareness of those sensations may support emotional regulation. How the Body and Brain May Process Emotional Response The study discusses how emotional experiences may involve multiple brain and body systems, including interoception, the autonomic nervous system, the insula, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortex. Rather than focusing only on conscious thought, this approach looks at how the body’s sensory signals may contribute to emotional patterns and how those patterns may change over time. Passive Emotional Regulation How emotions may calm without active cognitive control. Interoception and Body Awareness How awareness of body sensations may support emotional processing. Neurological Pathways How the insula, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and related systems may be involved. A Case Example Involving Anxiety and Depression The study follows a clinical case involving a client with symptoms of depression and anxiety. The intervention used a somatic quieting approach, where the client was guided to notice body sensations without trying to control or force emotional change. This case was used to explore how emotional intensity may reduce as the nervous system responds to sensory awareness and regulation. Working With Sensations Instead of Forcing Emotional Control The intervention emphasizes awareness of body sensations as they naturally shift. Instead of asking the client to analyze or suppress emotions, the process guides attention toward what is happening physically in the body. Observed Changes in Emotional Symptoms The case study reports changes in depression, anxiety, and stress scores after the treatment process. It also describes how the client became more aware of body sensations and experienced a reduction in emotional intensity during the sessions. Depression Reduction in reported symptoms Anxiety Improvement from initial assessment Stress Lower post-treatment score What This May Suggest About Emotional Regulation The study suggests that emotional experiences may change when attention is brought to body-based sensations connected to distress. It also raises the possibility that somatic quieting may help the nervous system move toward calm without relying only on conscious emotional control. Further research is needed to better understand how this process works and how it may support anxiety, depression, and other emotional conditions.
