Integration Work

Integration Work is at the heart of my services. I work with and specialize in those with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), Borderline Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, PTSD, and ADHD. Thanks to the groundbreaking "Redford Method", your system can heal and become "one" once again - without having to relive or re-experience the trauma or memories that caused it - and without years of appointments. Developed by Keith Redford with the help of his wife who struggled with DID herself, this is a method that was created by someone who not only understood DID, but lived it.

As a result, this is a method that looks nothing like what you have experienced before. It works surprisingly fast and at the end of the process, not only will you have let go of years of pain with ease, but you will also get to keep the wisdom and lessons learned and stored within each of the alters. They will all still be a part of you - because that is who they have always been. But, they will have once again become unified and one - restoring full control over your life and choices.

To help you understand how it works, I will give a brief overview of how your system was made in the first place.

 

A fragmented personality develops as a result of early childhood stress or trauma. To cope with the situation and protect the body, the child's spirit will split into pieces in an effort to "off-load" some of the traumatic energy being created and carry it away from the body. This traumatic energy will be held by what we call "emotion holders" and they are often kept out and away from the body but within the body's energy field. In order for the body to carry out its daily functions and routines, as well as keep the body safe by avoiding future trauma and forgetting or avoiding the painful past, additional alters, called "Doers" are created. These are designed to carry out specific tasks necessary for the person to get through the experience and/or everyday life.

 

The image above is a fairly simple diagram of the process that I will walk through in our first appointment. The most important aspect of it is that it shows that throughout the process, that none of the alters are lost, left out or disappear in the process. As each alter is able to dispose of or "let go" of their trauma or pain by releasing it into/onto the energetic grid, then they have the ability to start merging with other alters who have also released their negative energy. Multiple groups of alters are gradually combined until they are finally reunited with the host.

 

Every system (this is what the system of unique personalities found within a person is referred to) is unique. It is impossible to tell the level of division that has occurred within a person until we are able to get within the system and start speaking to the personalities or alters. 

Not everyone with a fragmented personality will experience a complete switch of an identity when an alter shows up. Most often, the host will remain completely conscious during the situation while an alter takes the passenger seat and starts to drive the "vehicle" along with the host. Have you ever had a situation where you behaved in a way that surprised you or seemed out of character? It doesn't necessarily have to be in a negative way either. Maybe it could be an intensely stressful or demanding situation that you somehow mustered strength or energy you didn't know you had and somehow you made it through with flying colors.

Whatever your level of fragmentation, this process works for all of them - including the most severe cases of neglect or abuse (such as ritualistic abuse or MK Ultra). It is important to note that this isn't therapy and doesn't replace therapy. Therapy may still be necessary to help an individual develop the tools they need to successfully navigate life. The integration process, though, will help reduce or eliminate problems with self sabotage created by resistant alters and restore full agency to the host.

As we introduce light into the system and reduce negativity and darkness, we are able to get the alters to start to merge until we ultimately end up with two at the very end of the process. Then, during what we call the quickening process, we merge those final two into one. All alters will finally be fully the body together and you will once again be experiencing life as a whole, complete being. You will be surprised at how much more at peace and in control of your life you will feel after the process!
