Lifespan Integration (LI) is a gentle, neuroscience-informed therapy that helps people heal from trauma by re-patterning the brain’s response to past experiences. Through guided visualizations and repetitions of a memory timeline, LI strengthens the client’s sense of self and fosters emotional integration—often without re-traumatizing the individual

When someone experiences trauma or deep loss, their brain and body can react in powerful, automatic ways. Over time, these responses—such as dissociation, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness—can become stuck patterns, leaving individuals feeling fragmented or frozen in the past. Lifespan Integration therapy gently supports the brain’s natural ability to heal by helping clients reprocess memories, connect their life story, and build a stronger sense of self.

If you’ve been exploring trauma therapy, you may have come across EMDR and Lifespan Integration—two powerful approaches that help the brain heal. While both aim to reduce distress and promote lasting change, they do so in very different ways.
