How Does Integrative Therapy Work?

Integrative therapy is based on a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to needs. Key aspects include:

1. Tailored Approach
Therapists customize their methods to align with each client’s specific requirements and goals.

2. Active Participation
Clients are encouraged to actively participate in their therapeutic journey, fostering collaboration and empowerment.

3. Holistic Perspective
Integrative therapy views the client as a whole person, considering their physical, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being.

4. Various Theories
A variety of therapeutic methods are utilized, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores how past experiences influence present behaviors.

Humanistic Therapy: Emphasizes personal growth and self-acceptance including:

• unconditional positive regard (UPR) – accepting and valuing you
• congruence - being honest and transparent in how they experience you and your world
• empathic understanding – seeing your viewpoint as if they were you

Transactional Analysis: Examines interpersonal relationships and communication.
