The Illumineering^™ Method

Illumineering^™ is a groundbreaking coaching method developed by psychotherapist and coach, Lauren Mackler. It's a unique integration of the most effective modalities to help people break free of their self-defeating patterns, liberate their potential, and create the personal lives, relationships, careers, and professional results to which they aspire. It can be used in a variety of settings by professionals certified in the Illumineering^™ method, including psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and life, career, relationship, and executive coaches who have a background in psychology.

Illumineering^™ is based on the premise that when we're born, we are whole, integrated human beings with tremendous potential. Growing up, we respond to our life conditioning by adopting habitual thought and behavior patterns, many of which erode our innate wholeness. We carry these patterns into adulthood, and they shape our feelings about ourselves, our relationships, our personal lives, and our careers. Illumineering^™ helps people break free of the shackles of their life conditioning, reclaim their innate wholeness, and become the person they were born to be.

The three modalities that comprise the Illumineering^™ method are family systems work (to identify client blocks at the root level), psychodynamic psychology (to access limiting beliefs and habitual behavior patterns embedded in the subconscious), and coaching (to identify and implement action-based strategies to override self-defeating patterns, develop a new default operating system, and achieve transformational and lasting change).

Illumineering^™ differs significantly from traditional psychotherapy and other coaching methods. Traditional psychotherapy is generally more focused on the present and past, and most practitioners use talk-therapy to help clients process their feelings, or cognitive-behavioral approaches to help them think and behave differently. Coaching is typically more future-oriented, focused exclusively on identifying client goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Illumineering^™ is a unique integration of family systems work, psychodynamic psychology, and coaching to identify and address client blocks at their deepest level, and develop and implement action-based strategies to override these barriers and achieve the personal and professional results they seek.
