Heal Deep. Live Different.
MICHAEL J. KLINE - MASTER CERTIFIED RIM FACILITATOR
You tried so many things.
And still - inside you feel tired, pressured, and a little broken.
You hold a lot. Responsibilities, emotions, and old stories you thought you’d already worked through.
On the outside you’re functioning. On the inside, it can feel heavy, anxious, or just… too much.
RIM sessions gently guide you to the emotional root of that weight, so your system can finally relax.
Clients often describe feeling lighter, more peaceful, and surprisingly different after even a single session.
- Release the emotional charge behind stress, anxiety, and old wounds
- React differently to the same triggers, without forcing yourself
- Feel more patient, present, and resourced with the people you love
What happens in a session.
Sessions happen in the privacy of your home or wherever you choose for privacy and safety. The work is equally effective in person or by phone, zoom or Whatsapp.
Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes, and some sessions go for up to 2 hours. There is no extra charge for longer sessions. You're progress is more important than the clock!
You are always in charge of your session so you stay safe and it's impossible to do wrong. There is no need to tell your old stories again. This is different - RIM gently dips you into your own closed-eye journey to follow whatever shows up for you. This allows you to safely dip beneath the thinking part of your brain into the hidden root causes that have been running the show without conscious awareness. Most clients are surprised at how easily and deeply they progress and feel lighter and freer at the end of a session.
Deep healing changes everything
Even when life feels like constant pressure and you can always find evidence that whatever you do is still “not enough.” You are enough.
Stress, anxiety, indecision, broken relationships, poor health, chronic pain, overwhelm, depression, and trauma are often symptoms of old, stuck emotions. Those emotions can frequently be dissolved more easily than you might imagine.
Whether the root is childhood experiences, current situations, or inherited ancestral trauma, RIM works beneath logic to reach the real source of the issue. When the root shifts, your present‑day experience can finally change.
Imagine feeling different after a single session
Can you imagine feeling freer, lighter, and more at peace after just one session? That’s exactly what many clients report.
Most people believe that because you cannot change the past, you just have to manage your emotions with coping skills. However new discoveries in neuroplasticity show that the nervous system can respond to a well-imagined, regenerated experience as it if were a real event. You cannot literally change the facts of what happened, but you can change how your body and emotional memory hold it.
Clients don’t just feel better after RIM; they feel different. They describe less brain chatter, more ease in their bodies, and surprising shifts in how they respond to the same old situations.
Picture yourself feeling more patient, confident, and creative, and more at ease with uncertainty. Imagine life when old triggers are no longer triggering. Begin to see yourself connecting with others from a place of feeling resourced, loved, and supported.
RIM is different
RIM is very different from traditional therapy or coaching. Instead of primarily talking about your story, RIM works directly with raw emotion, and the images and sensations in your body. This allow change at a deep, visceral level.
It is a revolutionary, transformational process, rooted in Two Minds Theory and grounded in neuroscience.
You can quickly and gently release stuck negative emotional thoughts, feelings, and memories so you can experience more freedom in your daily life.
If you are ready for real shifts and profound results, and you are tired of only talking about your feelings and stories, you now have an alternative.
Research has found that benefits are often seen in a single session, which is notably faster than the 10-20 sessions typically needed to see effects in traditional talk therapy.
Your own healing power
The RIM process trusts your own innate healing power. After sessions, clients often say they feel different, lighter, relaxed, and as if a huge weight has been lifted. It is a beautiful honor to witness this kind of dramatic healing.

I grew up learning to worry about what everyone else thinks and to look successful on the outside, no matter how I felt inside. I got very good at performance: being the responsible one high achiever.
On the inside, it was a constant hum of anxiety, self‑doubt, and pressure to be "more.” There was always another bar to clear. Rest, joy, and self‑acceptance were for other people.
For decades, I tried to think and work my way out of that feeling. Self help books, personal growth workshops, mindset tools, spiritual journeys taught me a lot, and helped. But they didn’t fully touch the deep, embodied sense of “never enough” that lived in my nervous system. I could understand my patterns, but I couldn’t feel different in a lasting way.
When I discovered RIM, it felt like someone had finally handed me the missing piece.
Instead of talking about my stories and thinking about my behavior, I was guided into the emotions, images, and body sensations underneath. I got to meet the younger parts of me that still carried fear, shame, and responsibility, and actually release what they had been holding. I walked out of my early RIM sessions feeling lighter, calmer, and more myself than I had in years. The situations in my life hadn’t changed overnight, but my experience of them had.
That was the turning point.
Over the next decade, I trained closely with RIM creator Dr. Deb Sandella and became a RIM Master Facilitator and Trainer, teaching hundreds of coaches and therapists how to use RIM with their own clients. I also spent ten years on Jack Canfield’s team, supporting thousands of his students through deep transformational work with RIM. Along the way, I even gave a TEDx talk on “Enoughness,” because this question of never feeling like we are enough has been at the center of my own journey since before I could form memories. I really do understand how relentless that feeling can be.
Now I help other high‑functioning, deeply feeling humans who are tired of holding everything together while quietly wondering if they’re fundamentally broken or “too much.”
My work is not about fixing you - because you are not broken. It’s about gently dissolving the old emotional imprints that keep you stuck in overthinking, over‑functioning, and never‑enoughness, so you can experience what it’s like to move through the world feeling resourced, connected, and at home in yourself.
If you recognize yourself in any of this, you’re not alone. You don’t have to keep white‑knuckling your way through. There is a kinder way to heal, and I’d be honored to walk with you for a part of that journey.

As the former VP of Training at The RIM Institute, I've always loved teaching RIM, and I can talk about it endlessly. The truth is, it's easier to do it than explain it, but I appreciate the insatiable nature of our thinking brains. So no judgment - you do you! If you want to know even more about how RIM actually works in a session, explore our “What is RIM?” page to see how this experiential process supports emotional healing, trauma recovery, and greater ease in everyday life. If you're curious about the peer-reviewed, published RIM research you can find more about that here, as well.

"It was like I rearranged the furniture inside myself, and that was what was needed! A smaller part of myself had been contentedly stuck in the shadows to my detriment. The sessions freed up my heart to love a lot more, without reservations! I am very grateful for this process!" ~ Nancy, PhD Licensed Clinical Psychologist
RIM was created by Dr Deb Sandella, founder of the RIM Institute nearly thirty years ago. Backed by research published in 2025 by the University of Colorado, a single RIM session led to significant decreases in depression, anxiety, and stress for 100% of subjects. Read the whole story...
