Lifespan Integration
Lifespan Integration is a gentle therapy that works on a deep neural level
to promote rapid healing in adults who were abused or neglected as children.
This new technique helps clients move into a positive present by revisiting and
restructuring repetitive, self-destructive patterns that were set up in early
life.
During an LI session the therapist and client begin by identifying a difficulty
in the client’s present life. The client focuses on body sensations to
find an earlier root (neural network) that holds distorted beliefs and partially
processed emotions, much like a file that contains misinformation. The client
and therapist then use the tools of Lifespan Integration to “re-set” the
client’s neural system to move past unpleasant feelings and dysfunctional
patterns connected to the past and establish more effective and mature responses
to all aspects of adult life.
Even those who have poor or fragmented memories of a difficult childhood benefit
from LI therapy. After the therapy clients find that they react to stressors
in age-appropriate ways rather than falling back into old patterns. They feel
better about life, are more self-accepting, and are better able to enjoy their
intimate relationships.
Lifespan Integration was developed by Peggy Pace, who trained Sally Burke
in the technique. To learn more visit www.lifespanintegration.com.
Client Comment:
Thank you Sally. You have such insight and are an expert in your field, you completely understood what was going on for me. And, you had no judgements with my bad behaviours (over-spending, promiscuity) which allowed me to be completely open and honest and put on the table all my issues and thereby once and for all, heal my traumas.
