What is Acceptance and Integration Training® (AAIT™)
Trauma-Informed Counseling and Coaching with AAIT

A Different Kind of Counseling with Acceptance and Integration Training®
Experience change without needing years of extensive talk therapy
Acceptance and Integration Training® (AAIT™) is a different approach to counseling that does not require extensive talking about past experiences. Instead, the counselor guides individuals through processes of accepting their experiences resulting in healing and a renewed sense of wholeness. Targeting specific problems, counselors and coaches are able to quickly resolve issues that previously took months or even years. Recognized for addressing trauma, substance use disorders, and a wide range of other mental health challenges, AAIT eliminates the need for lengthy explorations and endless talk therapy, helping people heal from pain from the past and move into the present with peace and strength. Individuals develop a sense of personal agency. AAIT™ is focused on resolving emotional reactivity and eliminating “triggers” to reveal higher states of consciousness, allowing the individual to regain control instead of allowing past trauma and conditioning to control current behaviors, emotions, and thought patterns.
Notable Benefits of Acceptance and Integration Training®
- Empowering: Clients gain concrete tools to put them in control of healing.
- Rapid Transformation: Many clients have stated that a single AAIT™ session has produced more insight, change, and progress than years of therapy with standard therapeutic approaches.
- Holistic Integration: Through learning to enter and explore other points of view, individuals discover meaningful keys to compassion for self and others.
- Reliable: Therapists report seeing real and visible change in almost every session with clients reporting significant improvement.
- Trauma resolution: Freed from reactive and unconscious traumatic pain and distorted thinking, clients discover increases in present-focused attention, self-compassion, and more skillful choices. This allows for a multi-generational impact.
- Evidence-Based Practice: AAIT™ is anchored in the overlap of best scientific evidence, clinical experience, and patient values, making it a trusted and reliable methodology.
Lasting Recovery and Well-being
Incorporating AAIT™ elevates behavioral health patient care. By blending a novel approach with the practices of established techniques, therapists and clients can develop a comprehensive pathway to recovery from substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges.
