How Does IPT Work?
IPT is a 4-step process that utilizes behavioral kinesiology and the intelligence of the body to identify the age of origination where past unresolved trauma needs to be addressed. IPT is a blend of many modalities including behavioral kinesiology, guided imagery, role play, inner child work, visualization, and an in-depth study of psycho-neuro immunology. IPT is organized in such a way that it assists the client in working through and releasing toxic emotions and outdated belief systems.
How does IPT relate to current healing methods and techniques? 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 (Jeffrey Young, Ph.D.)
-
Works with parts of self (Richard Schwartz, 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.
