The Art of Behavioral Change​

​

ISD incorporates narrative psychology, depth psychology, integral theory, archetypal work, and a range of other disciplines and tools. Understanding the stories we’re living – and being willing to change them if they’re no longer serving us – is one of the most powerful things we can do, and is at the heart of the ISD method.

 

Changing the way we live requires shifting outdated behaviors and self-perceptions, breaking through our limiting beliefs, and rewriting old stories that are holding us back. This approach to the human psyche has become increasingly popular in therapeutic settings, but is unique in the arenas of personal development and leadership coaching, and ISD is proud to be part of a vanguard of coaching practices bringing this kind of work to a targeted, solutions-oriented approach.

 

After ten years, this work has already helped many clients and workshop participants with goal achievement, leadership development, personal fulfillment, the optimization of internal assets for success, and the transformation of internal obstacles to growth. ISD has been designed for individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds. Browse our site to learn more, and get in touch if you have any questions.
