Lifespan Integration©

Lifespan Integration© (LI), developed by Peggy Pace is a unique method of therapy which uses memory recall and imagery to access the inner child. LI creates a visual timeline of conscious and unconscious memories to address and dispel negative emotions and allow the body-mind connection to begin the healing process. When administering this form of therapy, a clinician will guide a client to draw on a memory from each year of his or her life. LI provides a gentle and nurturing atmosphere that allows the memories to spontaneously present themselves. Each individual memory is then examined to determine the relationship it has with present day symptoms. In addition, the landscape of the client’s life is visible and this often allows the client to gain insight into particular patterns or behaviors he or she has sustained throughout their lifetime.

Variations of Lifespan Integration©

Another variation of Lifespan Integration is being used to help clients manage and combat the negative effects of maltreatment in early childhood. By working with a highly trained and internally coherent therapist, a client can be guided into the past and can visualize themselves being parented in a positive way. This form of therapy often creates a powerful and regenerated sense of self and identity for the client, and his/her perception of his/her entire life is dynamically and dramatically shifted for the better.

LI for Those Who Struggle with Emotional Maturity

For clients who struggle with emotional maturity, LI offers the opportunity for more age-appropriate behavioral response. LI is very effective for closing the gaps in the minds of people with memory lapses and allows them to continue on in a more cohesive manner. Lifespan Integration can also impact interpersonal relationships in a highly positive way.
