WHAT PRACTITIONERS SAY

Carla Benson, LPC , talks about the benefits of AAIT™
Most therapeutic models focus on insight and symptom management. AAIT™ resolves issues at their root cause by helping clients integrate opposing psychological states, thoughts, images, emotions, and sensations that haven’t been fully processed.
This integration frees them from persistent pain and reactivity, often leading to a state of calm awareness and lasting peace sometimes within a single session.
AAIT™ blends insights from:
Clinical hypnosis
Gestalt therapy
Re-decision therapy
Energy psychology
Non-dual philosophy
It’s all woven into a cohesive, proven model of care.
This immersive, small-group experience blends professional training with personal transformation.
You’ll learn over 22 processes and gain 30+ hours of personal therapy as part of the program.
Hands-On Learning: Live mentoring, real-time practice, and supportive feedback.
The SERVE Model:
Seek understanding
Engage collaboration
Resolve reactivity
Verify & stabilize results
Embody the true self
Six Core Principles: Including self-acceptance as a measure of well-being, integration of opposing states, and recognizing that the true self is not encumbered by the limitations of our stories.
Reliable, Repeatable Results: Tools that help you and your clients release long-held pain and move into wholeness.
Community Connection: Grow alongside a compassionate network of healing professionals who share your values.

WHAT PRACTITIONERS SAY
"AAIT should be in everyone’s water—it’s that essential.
I use these tools every single day in my counseling practice, and my clients consistently feel immediate and lasting change.
The Fellowship gave me more than training—it gave me a way to relieve suffering in ways I had never seen before. It’s phenomenal.

Janette Isaacson, LMHC
"With AAIT™, my clients aren’t swimming in their suffering nearly as long or as often.
AAIT™ has dramatically improved the efficiency of my clinical practice, allowing my clients to experience relief from their symptoms much faster than I experienced with other methods. It has quickly become my go to therapeutic modality."

AAIT™ blends beautifully with other modalities. It enhances your results and gives you faster, deeper tools for transformation.
Think of this as an investment in your capacity to serve, and in your own healing. The 30+ hours of personal therapy included in the training alone are worth the tuition cost.
AAIT™ focuses on rapid, root-cause healing. Client insights and shifts arise naturally, without retraumatization. Practitioners consistently report feeling energized, present, and confident rather than drained or stuck. The structured method helps you break free from imposter syndrome while achieving meaningful outcomes for clients.
How will this program help me avoid burnout?
By teaching tools that produce fast, effective results, AAIT™ helps you facilitate client breakthroughs without depleting your energy. Practitioners leave sessions feeling renewed and excited, not exhausted.
Absolutely! AAIT™ equips practitioners with skills to address a wide range of concerns, including perinatal mental health, LGBTQAI+ issues, spiritual well-being and much more.

WHAT PRACTITIONERS SAY
"AAIT is wonderful in that it relieves emotional triggers and activations relatively quickly and also does not leave the client feeling raw and vulnerable at the end of the session.
I, myself, have been receiving this form of therapy and swear by it.
I love being able to give my clients the same kind of release that I have experienced and being able to just be."
"It’s amazing and will absolutely change your therapeutic work and your personal healing for the better.
In my own clinical work, I haven’t gone a day (and rarely even go a session) in the last five years without using some element of AAIT. There are a lot of $100-$200, day-long courses out there that will leave you with little more than some interesting new concepts and a few CEUs. AAIT is not one of those. This is not a checkbox training. It’s an investment."
"I actually use the tools and skills from AAIT all the time!!
It did ruin me for so many other training though because I now hate paying for a training where I know I won’t get much of anything out of them. So many of my clients love that we are not just doing 'talk therapy' and they have real, tangible skills they can use at home. I was worried when I first decided to sign up about the cost, but it was so worth it!"

Join the growing movement of therapists, coaches, and healing arts professionals who are shaping the future of mental health care.
“In the middle of a mental health crisis, the need for effective, efficient and healing that lasts is great. With advances in technology, and AI threatening therapeutic engagement, it’s time our approach to healing change too. We now have the means to support people in minutes not months, far past what any AI tool can offer."
