Hypnosis is a re-programming of the thought processes. It is accomplished by providing the atmosphere to move into subconscious awareness states such as alpha, theta and delta. The theory is that in these states, the mind is more suggestible so that suggestions are more likely to be accepted by the mind.

 

NLP is a behavioral model based on the idea of creating new, more helpful associations and alternatives for the client. It is non-hypnotic. The theory is that if one can form new associations to existing behavior, that behavior can be modified in a positive way.

 

Gestalt is a theory of mind and brain of the Berlin School; the operational principle of gestalt psychology is that the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies. The principle maintains that the human eye sees objects in their entirety before perceiving their individual parts, suggesting the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

​

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFTs) are a form of counseling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy.

Past life regression (PLR) is a process of retrieving purported memories of alleged previous lives, either as a hypnotic process or in the space of deep meditation.  One of PLR's leading advocates is Dr. Brian L. Weiss M.D.   It is irrelevant whether or not the client or practitioner believes in reincarnation, Integrated Healing is concerned only to the extent it improves the present life of the client.

 

Hoʻoponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice which was performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand.

Coaching is a training or development process via which an individual is supported while achieving a specific personal or professional competence result or goal. The life coaching process addresses the client’s specific projects, business successes, general conditions and transitions in the client's personal life, relationships or profession by examining what is going on right now, discovering what his perceived obstacles or challenges might be, and helping the client choose a course of action to overcome challenges, accept situations and attain goals. These services are not licensed by the state and do not include the practice of medicine or psychiatry or clinical psychology or psychotherapy, which are the purview of licenced physicians.
