ICV therapy

ICV therapy: Life cycle integration

What is ICV?

ICV is a psycho-corporeal therapy allowing rapid relief of sometimes disabling symptoms and disorders: anxiety, self-esteem disorders, attachment disorders, painful relational patterns, psychotrauma, OCD, etc.
When painful events from the past prevent normal functioning in the present (social, family or professional), we speak of psychological trauma: we are stuck in the past.

The theory

ICV is based on the theory of the Self.
The normal development of the individual supposes an integration of the different states of the month. Indeed, at the beginning of development, the Self is not unified: the baby's different ego states are activated depending on the context and its interactions.
However, when we grow up in a dysfunctional environment (abuse, neglect, absence of an attachment figure, etc.) the integration of the different states of the month is impossible. Trauma, in particular, prevents functional neuronal integration. The different states of the month are then only partially integrated, even in adulthood.

In practice

ICV helps to relaunch neuronal integration by stimulating the innate capacity of the body and psyche to self-heal, thus allowing the neuronal system to integrate traumatic memories while creating new, more useful and more adapted networks in order to have more functional thoughts and behaviors on a daily basis.

This therapeutic technique, protocolized, allows you to establish a more solid base of internal security and to better regulate your emotions, to access emotional stability and personal anchoring. It allows us to restore the dialogue between the body and the psyche, to restore coherence and meaning to each person's life experience, and to be more present while strengthening one's resources and self-esteem.
