What is a Dynamic Emotional Integration® Consultation?

Emotions are possibly your greatest source of instincts, intelligence, and energy — yet most of us haven’t been taught how to access these gifts. For most of us, emotions can be a mystery or a problem instead of what they truly are — which is a limitless source of information, support, and energy.

Your emotions – all of them – are the motivation for everything you think and every action you take. Understanding your emotions and knowing how to work with them will improve every area of your life.

Dynamic Emotional Integration® Consultations can help you access the intelligence, energy, and insight in every emotion you have.

Dynamic Emotional Integration is a groundbreaking whole-system approach to emotions and empathy that helps you understand and work brilliantly with every emotion you have. Anger, sadness, fear, grief, shame, even hatred … all seventeen of your emotions are essential for your health and well-being.

When you learn how to work with all of your emotions, your life and your relationships can improve dramatically.

Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultations are unique; they help you access the immense wisdom inside your emotional realm, and they help you find your own ideas and solutions with the help of your inborn emotional wisdom.

Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultations are individualized sessions with licensed Consultants who can support you in an in-depth exploration of your current emotional situation. Your Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultation supports you in exploring the genius in your emotions and developing strong emotional awareness and healthy empathy.

Dynamic Emotional Integration consultations are offered in person, by phone, or by video conferencing with your licensed Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultant.

All licensed Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultants have been trained directly by Karla McLaren in a two-year intensive program.

Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultation options

An Initial DEI Consultation

  • If you feel comfortable with your emotional skills and awareness, but you need to delve more deeply into a specific situation, an initial DEI Consultation may be just right for you. Your one-hour consultation includes a follow-up where you can share your progress, delve into specific emotions, and ask deeper questions.

A Series of 3 DEI Consultations

  • If your situation is of longer duration, or you need deeper support with specific skills or emotions, a series of three DEI Consultations may be supportive for you.

A Self-Awareness Series

  • In this special series focused on your individual needs, you and your DEI Consultant will work with The Language of Emotions Workbook to develop your skills and awareness over a period of 3, 4, or 6 months (depending on your needs and preferences).

An Individualized Approach

  • You and your DEI Consultant can develop a consultation schedule based on your needs and your specific situation.

How is a Dynamic Emotional Integration Consultation different from therapy?

Dynamic Emotional Integration is not a psychological model. Instead, it’s a sociological model that views the emotional realm as a unified, intelligent system that helps you understand your social world, assign meaning to incoming data, and access the deep forms of genius and healing that only your emotions contain.

Surprisingly, psychology as a field cannot do this. As a result, psychologists, therapists, and counselors have little-to-no training in emotions, except to treat some of them (such as depression or anxiety) as aspects of mental illness. This can mean that the vital messages and intelligence in emotions such as depression, anxiety, anger, and panic will go unheard.

It can also mean that the often-surprising healing movements of your emotions as an intelligent system will not be understood.

DEI Consultations help you focus on the unique ways that your emotional system works, and on the astonishing genius in your emotional realm. Your emotions are vital aspects of every part of your life, and your DEI Consultant can help you learn to work with each one of them skillfully.

However, there are situations where clinical support is helpful, such as long-term depressions, post-traumatic conditions, difficulties with abusive relationships, addictions, and other more intense situations. We maintain clear boundaries between DEI and therapy, yet we also work with people who are in concurrent therapy, because knowing more about your emotional realm, and knowing how to listen to and work directly with your emotions is essential at any time, and for everyone.
