Therapeutic Modalities
Lifespan Integration is a new technique originated by Peggy Pace. It promotes rapid healing in adults who experienced abuse and/or neglect during childhood.
“This new method relies on the innate ability of the body-mind to heal itself. Lifespan Integration uses a psychological technique called an "affect bridge" to find a memory which is connected to the current problem. The therapist guides the client to imaginally re-visit this past memory, bringing into the past whatever is needed to resolve the memory. After the memory is resolved, the therapist leads the client through time to the present using a Time Line of visual images of scenes from the client's life. This Time Line of memories and images proves to the client's body-mind system that time has passed and that life is different now. This "proof" occurs at a deeper level than is possible with commonly used cognitive behavioral [talk therapy] methods.”

It also attends to the current situations that trigger difficult emotions, rigid beliefs and uncomfortable sensations as well as the positive experiences needed to enhance future adaptive behaviors and a sense of well-being. EMDR utilized bi-lateral stimulation either by visual, auditory or tactile sensations that help the brain process negative thoughts, emotions or sensations.
