Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems

What we do as CIMBS therapists is slow way down the way we observe ourselves and practice the radical art of paying attention to what unfolds in the present moment with deep acceptance and curiosity. Crucial information about a patient’s challenges and strengths emerges through their physiology such as facial expression, vocal tone and gesture. Patients begin to experience themselves in new ways as they notice habitual physical responses and learn to recognize and change them. They become attuned to their body signals and get to know themselves with more accuracy and kindness.

By not lingering on the patient’s past, the CIMBS therapist and patient focus on what is manifesting in the moment. Like physical therapy, CIMBS doesn’t focus on how the injury occurred, it focuses on the injury as it impacts the present. Through the CIMBS process, the patient’s brain spontaneously “re-wires” towards health. This collaborative process empowers patients to navigate their lives in more intentional and satisfying ways.

CIMBS has been shown to work very effectively with Anxiety, Attachment trauma, Religious trauma, dissociative disorders, depersonalization, depression and shame reduction.
