[1] On average, these clients were consistently found to show decreases distress, such as anxiety, depression and suicidality as well as overall increases in measures of psychological health, such as increased functioning in social roles, improvements in quality of life and improvements in interpersonal relationships. Basic information: reintegrativetherapy.com Scientific evidence: reintegrativetherapy.com/science Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated how trauma processing triggers spontaneous sexuality change: APA’s Ethical Principle E protects clients’ right to self-determination [2]. Clients have the right to set their own therapy goals. This is is a “client-centered approach.” Reintegrative Therapy® clients are in the driver's seat of their own therapy.
