The Bodymind Institute IBSR Announces – Stress REMOVAL, Not Reduction

Spring has finally arrived. And along with the change in the weather, so have we.

The Bodymind Institute-IBSR announces that its flagship protocol is changing its name from Integration Based Stress Reduction to Integration Based Stress Removal.

“Stress Reduction” doesn’t even begin to cover what this linear somatic psychology protocol can do. Based on client outcome research and conversations with mental health professionals trained in this protocol, we have found that IBSR removes stress permanently from the body – within moments in session and continuing in the weeks following.

“Reduction” is also a hallmark of mindfulness psychology techniques, which addresses new brain functions. We address old brain functions by dealing with primitive stress responses only, and want to stress this distinction between mindfulness techniques and our own practice.

As such, we are modifying the protocol name to emphasize its complete removal of stress and anxiety – Integration Based Stress Removal.
