Core Integrity

We seek to approach mental health from the premise that “injury” must be ruled out first before assigning an “illness” diagnosis. By broadening mental health to address both injury and illness, societal attitudes will change dramatically as individuals more readily and easily relate to those who are mentally “injured” or “wounded.”

Recent neurocognitive research in the study of consciousness supports the premise of the Core Integrity Model (CIM) that there is a resilient Core self that endures beyond the worst of injuries and that there can be restoration of mental control to the person. The CIM provides very specific tools that are trans-cultural because they use the natural neurocognitive processes of the brain. Utilization of these techniques allows the trauma survivor to regain executive control – lost in the traumatic event – of his or her own mind.
