Lifespan Integration Effectiveness in Traumatized Women

Abstract

In the research study, Lifespan Integration (LI) is studied in order to determine its effectiveness in treating women who have trauma related symptoms. The participants were gathered at a shelter in Seattle that specializes in chemical dependency treatment and domestic violence prevention. The Impact of Events Scale (IES) was used to measure the symptoms after two LI sessions. Trauma related symptoms can have lasting negative physical and mental health symptoms and can overall decrease the quality of an individual's life if it is not treated effectively. The results suggest that the LI interventions provided relief to trauma related symptoms. However, more research is needed in order to confirm whether LI is truly effective in treating trauma related symptoms or not.
