Resolve the past without reliving it
Gentle and rapid trauma processing for those whose past still lives in the present – and for the therapists who help them.
When your past still lives in your present
Whether you are seeking help for the first time or have been in therapy – or a therapist – for years, the problem is the same: A memory from your past is stuck in your present, affecting your relationships, work, and peace of mind.
You may have tried various approaches:
Cognitive
You understand why you feel this way, but the insight hasn't changed how you feel.
Affective
You've tried to “feel your feelings” and "cry it out", but afterwards the pain is still there.
Somatic
You can breathe and ground yourself in the moment, but the memory comes back.
If you’ve been unable to think, feel, or breathe your way out of trauma, it’s because the memory is stored in a part of your brain that most therapy can’t reach.
The Mechanics of Trauma Resolution: A Brain-Based Approach
Think of your brain as a sophisticated filing system. Most memories sit neatly in the drawers, remaining in the past until you choose to recall them.
An unresolved trauma is like a file that was shoved in during a crisis, sticking out at an angle. When you try to close the drawer, you hit the file and experience a sense of anger, anxiety or fear.
Brain-based approaches like MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0 don't change the contents of the file or erase the memory. Instead, they use neuroscience-based techniques to straighten the file so it can finally slide into its proper place.
How the Memory Gets Updated
1. Activate the Memory
We start by gently activating the memory. Instead of reliving it, we move it “outside” you by projecting or moving the images, sounds and sensations. This process of externalisation creates distance and perspective without the overwhelm.
2. Introduce New Input
While the memory is active, we introduce novel sensory inputs, like eye movements or creative visualisations. This creates what neuroscientists call a "Prediction Error." Your brain expects the old distress, but instead encounters a safe, neutral distraction.
3. Update the Memory
Your brain realizes that the old model is no longer accurate today. It permanently updates the memory as a neutral piece of your past. The "file" is straightened, the drawer closes, and your mental energy is finally freed up for the present.
This process typically takes one to three sessions for most of my clients.
For those who are interested, I also teach them a simplified version of MEMI and/or Brain-Switch 2.0 that they can use on their own as a form of self-care. This is especially useful for therapists working with high-volume, high-risk clients.
If other therapy approaches haven’t worked for you, why not try a different approach?
A Different Kind of Therapist
I’m Eunice Tan, a psychotherapist specialising in trauma and attachment wounds.
Perhaps it was my law degree from Oxford, living in the UK for over a decade, my background in the public sector, or experiencing different types of therapy as a client – but I take a different approach to therapy.
Therapy doesn’t have to be heavy, tearful or long-term to be healing. It can be practical, joyful and brief.
My clients leave the session with light in their eyes and hope in their hearts.

"Eunice made me feel optimistic about life, and that there are better things coming my way. If you are looking for a cheer leader, a motivator, and someone who is trained to work through your old issues or burdens, she's the one for you. I really liked that she doesn’t believe in consistently seeing her, and believes in the 1 to 3 sessions approach. Very rare!"

"In medical appointments, I had extreme anxiety, occasional panic attacks or emotional breakdowns, and a lot of fear. My session with Eunice helped me to understand my traumatic experience in new ways, leading to forgiveness and empathy for my past self. I felt more in control during my last medical appointment."
- “Jennifer”, 32

I felt stuck on the issues I was trying to address, I had tried a number of other modalities and couldn't find a process that would meaningfully help or create a difference. After MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0, I now feel physically, mentally and emotionally lighter and am able to move forward with a sense of freedom, clarity and purpose. If you are dealing with issues where you have tried everything and it hasn't worked, please see Eunice.
