The IPT Process

Therapy for Everyone

IPT can work for everyone, from a newborn to the eldest of the senior population.


We all make decisions on how we view and experience life, even brand new babies.  Some of these views are learned from generations before, some are due to trauma, world events and loss.  Often times we stay stuck in those patterns and begin to feel hopeless, lost.  IPT can help to regain clarity, understanding, and most importantly hope and peace.

Individual Therapy

Self-care and self-healing are one of the hardest, yet most important things we can do for ourselves.  As we journey through life from childhood, adolescence and into adulthood , life takes us in many different directions.  We make decisions based on how we see our parents handle situations, our perceptions of things and what we think will serve and protect us the most.  Often times we then adopt harmful or negative coping mechanisms and beliefs on how we should "do" life.  Our own feelings of "not being good enough", "not being loveable", keep us in a place of being stunted emotionally.  Creating depression, anxiety, hopelessness and feeling out of control in our existence. IPT  can help to release those patterns that are holding you back.  It will help to bring balance and possibly find a "you" that has been hidden from view. 

Family and Relationship Therapy

In today's unattached world, maintaining a healthy relationship and family can be challenging.  Our own backgrounds formed our perceptions of what makes a relationship and/or a family work.  These perceptions often keep us in a place of feeling "stuck", not good enough, or ill equipped to manage the stressors on us as a couple or a parent. IPT  can help you to move forward, to gain clarity and balance in your relationship and family unit.


For children, their session is used to make a brief "about me " story, to color out their feelings, stressors and beliefs.  Then both parent and child has a visualization of what feelings and emotions are surfacing for the child.  Thus allowing the child, who may not know how to language these emotions a clear way to communicate openly and effectively with their parent.

Employee Wellness Therapy

Maintaining a positive, productive work environment in today's world is quite a challenge.  Many are working from home, a remote office, commuting or a combination of them all.  Screen fatigue, uncertainty and general daily work load can create stress in the workplace as well as outside stressors from family and personal relationships.  IPT can help ensure that your staff/employees feel stable and balanced.

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.

"What happens during my session?"

An IPT session is a four-step process used in emotional healing. Each IPT session is lead by a facilitator in a quiet space in-person or over-the-phone.  A typical session for an adult lasts about an hour to an hour and a half; children generally an hour or less.


An IPT session feels much like a guided meditation.  Your facilitator helps to identify an age for you to work on using muscle response testing (behavioral kinesiology).  Together you and the facilitator identify belief systems, choices and emotional perceptions at the age identified by muscle testing. 


Through languaging and visualization your facilitator guides you to release the negative emotions and patterns of imbalance, which includes generational clearing, and the final steps of role-playing.  The client experiences a sense of release and relief as they emotionally mature and integrate the IPT experience.


During a session, facilitators may use a variety of non-invasive methods, modalities and programs that include MRT (muscle response testing), guided imagery, NLP(neuro-linguistic programming), emotion points, speaking out feelings, role-playing, inner child work, chakra work, emotional release work, and visualization. 


The purpose of participating in an IPT session is to bring us to a place of inner healing, peace and a strong sense of well-being.

"When we begin to heal ourselves, all of our relationships will begin to heal as well."

As we begin to heal ourselves, we begin to move from a place of reaction to a place of interaction.


IPT is a "letting go" technique, that helps you to release negative coping mechanisms and patterns, to help you to heal from past traumas and pain, and to move into a place of emotional maturity to handle life in a healthy way.


Often times our way of "dealing" with life brings about undo stress, anxiety, conflict and worry due to the way we have learned or decided we must cope. These patterns often times lead to anger, frustration, resentment and loss of control in our daily interactions.  When we seek to heal ourselves, to learn a new way, we we begin healing in all our relationships.
