• Observed Experiential Integration: What is Accelerated OEI

  

  Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) is a gentle, brain-based trauma therapy that uses guided eye positions and visual-field techniques to help the nervous system safely process overwhelming experiences. Developed by Dr. Rick Bradshaw and Audrey Cook, OEI supports deep integration of sensory, emotional, and cognitive aspects of trauma, often with less overwhelm than talk-based approaches alone.
