Healing through Emotional Education
We all have perceptions and beliefs that we hold in our minds, that create our attitudes, emotions, and physiological reactions to the challenges we face in our day to day lives.
The Integrative Processing Technique (IPT) helps guide you, to revisit those negative beliefs and clear emotional negativity and harmful coping mechanisms, to open a space to begin to forgive and heal.
Whether you are painfully aware of experiences from your past that are in need of healing; or you are just simply interested in releasing stress, IPT is a healing practice that creates life-changing results.
"IPT is a complete connection of the mind, body and spirit."
People from all walks of life, and all ages, have seen positive results from the Integrative Processing Technique. Individuals working with the technique have seen improvement in all areas of life, including:
- Relationships and marriage
- Parenting
- Generational healing
- Self-esteem and self worth
- Career satisfaction
- Health/stress relief
- Financial security
- General well-being
Pain travels through family lines until someone is ready to heal it in themselves. By going through the agony of healing you no longer pass the poison chalice onto the generations that follow. It is incredibly important and sacred work.
Roots, branches, and leaves all vital in our journey of who we are and who we become.
IPT and current healing methods
IPT is in line with the foremost trauma treatments of the day. These modalities include, but are not limited to, the trauma work of Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. and Janina Fisher, Ph.D and brings healing through the blending of many methods including:
- Behavioral Kinesiology (John Diamond, M.D.)
- Languages and clears emotions
- Identifies schemas (Jeffery Young, Ph.D)
- Works with parts of self (Richard Schartz, Ph.D)
- Brings somatic resolution (Peter Levine, Ph.D)
- Taps into the power of mindfulness (Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D)
- Heightens sensorimotor body awareness (Pat Ogden, Ph.D and Mary Jo Barrett)
- Reinforces psychoeducation that helps clients understand the science behind the healing capability of the brain
IPT and Traditional Therapies
The Integrative Processing Technique can help to support and further the work of those in traditional counseling or therapy. IPT itself is not traditional counseling or therapy, in that it does not include diagnosing and/or prescribing medication. Instead, IPT is associated with psycho-neuro immunology (PNI). This science focuses on how our thoughts and feelings affect our health.
For example:
- Liver stores feelings of deep-seated sadness and anger.
- Urinary system stores feelings of confusion about sexuality, anger and fear.
- Stomach is connected to feeling rejected and not being able to digest life.
- Lungs store feelings of abandonment and feeling suffocated in controlling relationships.
- Thyroid stores feelings and beliefs that it is never my turn.
- Pituitary gland is connected to a belief that nothing works for me. It is connected to faith and faithlessness.
- Hypothalamus stores feelings of disconnection, issues with sleep, hunger and thirst.
"We repeat what we don't repair."
