Now Advanced Integrative Therapy
Sometimes repeated and unaddressed traumas give birth to a constellation of core beliefs – negative conclusions about oneself or others that act to reinforce the holding of traumas in the energy system. Think of them as the mortar between the bricks of individual traumas. Over time, this mortar links together separate traumas, hardens, and creates an entire wall or structure that can cause hopelessness and despair about self-help possibilities. More insidiously, they can can reduce the person’s capabilities of changing the thought patterns at the root because they reinforce the original traumatic injuries. and sabotage the self-corrective possibilities of the body-mind affected. I found Seemorg Matrix work to be highly effective at addressing long-held beliefs about myself or others – reducing the charge, dispersing the issue, and filling the void with more positive affirmations. This method, with EFT, comprised the main two arrows in my energy psychology quiver for addressing both memories of bad events and my subconscious conclusions drawn from those memories.
This is a demonstration of the method in application by Aisha Clinton, developer of the method:
The Seemorg Protocol (now Advanced Integrative Therapy) treats trauma…
Trauma is any occurrence which, when we think of it or it is triggered by some present event, evokes difficult emotions and/or physical symptoms, gives rise to negative beliefs, desires, fantasies, compulsions, obsessions, addictions, and/or dissociation, prevents or hinders the growth of positive qualities and spiritual connections and development, and fractures human wholeness. From this standpoint, everything that impinges in a hurtful way on a person to the point that it triggers difficult emotions, physical symptoms, negative beliefs, spiritual blockage, and/or dissociation, is trauma, and can be treated as such.
Core Traumas breed destructive Core Beliefs, such as: “I am bad,” “The world is a horrible place,” and “People are out to get me.” These beliefs, which often reside in the subconscious, create in an individual a negative view of self, other, the world, and life. Any significant trauma can spawn many interconnected negative Core Beliefs. As they accumulate, they form a foundation of negativity in the psyche, and turn us toward pessimism, bitterness, skepticism, and negative expectations. Because Core Beliefs are integral parts of the character structures of the psyche, transforming destructive or negative Core Beliefs to a constructive, positive state is crucial to the healing of any pathology, but most of all to the healing of the personality disorders. It is as important to treat Core Beliefs as it is to treat the traumas that spawned them. What the tapping energy psychology produced before Seemorg were wonderful techniques that removed phobias and single incident traumata through contacting specific acupressure points. This approach removed the energy of the issue at hand, but not always permanently, because all its historical antecedents in the client’s life were not necessarily discovered and treated. Seemorg removes most issues permanently because it is based on thorough examination and treatment of the past, the present, and their connection.
Description, The Seemorg Protocol (Now AIT – Advanced Integrative Therapy)
From the AITI blog:
An inadvertent listener to the impassioned conversation at the next table in a restaurant, I heard a woman talking to her best friend about her problems. “Have you thought of therapy?” her friend asked. “No,” the woman said. “Therapy doesn’t work.” I’ve heard this refrain at the hairdresser’s, at parties, on subways and transatlantic flights– almost everywhere. When I’ve had the chance to ask about it, I’ve most often been told that going to therapy may provide insight or better behavior but, in the words of the same woman, “It didn’t cure me or help me suffer any less” and, in the words of another, “The help it gave me didn’t last.” These and similar comments indicate that many people expect cure to be the result of a therapy, and that to them, cure means a lasting end to frequent or continual suffering. When I’ve asked people who didn’t feel that therapy cured them or reduced their suffering what kind of therapy they had had, they named virtually every modality I have ever heard of.

Of course, psychotherapy and each of its modalities works for different people to greater or lesser degrees. Clearly many people who enter therapy hoping for cure and a cessation to suffering work hard at it, but it doesn’t make enough of a difference for them. As a young practitioner, I shrugged this off thinking that maybe the people who complained about therapy were so disturbed that they really couldn’t be helped. Now, after close to forty years in practice, I look at it differently: Perhaps, through no fault of our own, we psychotherapists did not know well enough how to treat our clients because the theory and methods that could bring more success had not yet been discovered and developed. We are, after all, a relatively new discipline…
AIT may be the first therapy that successfully discovers and treats the often multiple physical, psychological, and spiritual causes of an illness, psychological disorder, or spiritual blockage. More important, perhaps, the causes do not later produce recurrences because AIT also removes the connection between the causes and the disease or disorder that they have caused.
There is at least one aspect of this already complex situation that bears further mention: For the most part, Western practitioners have mostly treated psyches and bodies not only as if they were disconnected from each other, but also as if they were not intimately connected to a spiritual aspect which is as basic a part of every human being as are the body and psyche. This means, among other things, that illnesses and psychological disorders can have spiritual causes as well and that, if the spiritual causes are not discovered and treated, full healing may be far harder to achieve.
Advanced Integrative Therapy is a therapy, from the Latin therapia and the Greek θεραπεία, which literally mean “curing” or “healing” (Wikipedia). So AIT is not simply a psychotherapy, nor is it a method of spiritual counseling, and it is in no sense a type of medicine. It attempts, as far as possible, to discover and treat as many of the physical, psychological and spiritual causes of suffering as possible in order to produce healing and the removal of suffering. The idea behind AIT is that, if we treat enough of an individual’s suffering, that person will become peaceful, loving and much more likely to help than to harm. In this sense, AIT is an internal approach to the development of peace both within individuals and among them. And because it has an established methodology which, through the use of many methods and protocols, it brings the ideas that began to develop in the last century regarding whole person healing into practical reality. In psychotherapeutic and integrative and functional medical circles, practitioners have wanted a way to actually do what their theory says: to produce healing by working on the whole human being physically, psychologically, and spiritually. AIT is the first, hopefully, of many such methods.…
