​Carl Jung said " Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will direct our life and we will call it fate."  RIM can help you take control of your life and not accept what merely appears to be fate.

Michael - The physical aches and pains that have plagued me for years are significantly reduced. The persistent lump in in my throat for two months is gone. I have been to multiple doctors, had an upper GI endoscopy and throat dilation. Had I gone to your first, I would not have accumulated all these bills! I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family!  Thank you again! ~ Lauren, Pittsburg, PA

RIM  is Affordable

RIM is considered a "brief intervention", meaning it does not require endless sessions. Many of our clients have reported achieving more results in a single RIM session than they received in years of other methods, costing thousands of dollars.  Clients report the greatest results with 5 sessions.

​“RIM work produces such immediate and extraordinary emotional and physical results, it may at first appear unbelievable, but I have witnessed it in action in my own life and the lives of hundreds of my students and trainees and can testify to its profound impact.”
~ Jack Canfield~
​NY Times bestselling author, Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul® Series and The Success Principles, internationally renowned trainer & speaker.
"The advantage that RIM has over other "therapies", is the relaxed state that the client is in compared to a more "traumatic" experience that one-on-one therapy can sometimes bring. I do think RIM can take someone through their particular issues in a much shorter period of time."
~ Edward J. Jedlicka~  PhD
"I had the pleasure of having a RIM session with Michael Kline. His professional approach and his natural warm ability to help people release and open up to be the person they desire to be was phenomenal. I encourage anyone who wishes to have a RIM session with Michael. If you can follow instructions you'll be amazing, open up go with the flow and enjoy the ride.  Thanks so much Michael"
~ Terry Careswell~ United Kingdom
"Thank you soooo much for the RIM session.  First of all, I felt like I was talking to my brother on the phone with you.  I don't know you but was very comfortable.  I am feeling like a load has been lifted off my back, I am standing taller and feeling strong.  Resolved past issues in a matter of minutes.  Wow, amazing results.  Had a super duper day yesterday going ahead with plans I have been putting off and it sure feels great!" ~ Judy Lee, Alberta, Canada

RIM - Regenerating Images In Memory

What is RIM?

RIM is a closed eye, verbal, whole brain and body transformational tool that quickly and easily releases stuck negative emotional memories and regenerates them into positive ones. RIM is used by psychologists, coaches, therapists, counselors, social workers and other helping professions. It can be performed in person, over the phone or via Skype. 

Setting the Context

We all get stuck. Sometimes even bewildered, wondering if we're missing something, doing something wrong, or even convinced we're right and the rest of the world must be wrong!
We can sometimes have blocks that we don't even know we have. Perhaps we have blind spots preventing us from excelling or achieving whatever it is we’re pursuing.  Here’s how the blocks show up in our lives:

Indecision – procrastination – low self-esteem – apathy/hopelessness - shame - money issues - inadequacy - stress - defensiveness - a need to be right - anger - anxiety - emotional triggers - fear - endless dieting - the need to over-achieve – feelings of not being pretty or handsome enough -  shyness – hiding - the need to scheme and plot – performance anxiety - not having a voice - bullying behavior or need to dominate - emotional and/or physical abuse - trouble handling loss, grief, or sadness – not feeling loved and more.

We can ignore, negotiate or argue with the negative voices in our head and try to change our perspective.  Sometimes, this is enough. When it is not enough, we can use RIM to easily identify, dissolve and change the hidden block/s to success. RIM helps clients truly change their behavior and find inner peace. 

There's a lot of buzz these days about the value of emotional intelligence and mindfulness.  RIM can be thought of as a whole-brained way to expand on these concepts. The left hemisphere of our brain works in language, words, thoughts, ideas and concepts. It’s how we try to change our perspective, how we calculate, think, postulate, and figure things out. The right hemisphere of our brain uses the language of images and metaphor. The genius of RIM is, how we can use our imagination to create a whole-brain experience, accelerating the discovery of insights and freedom that, as a self-generated and felt experience, is more powerful than an intellectual perspective shift alone.

The RIM method is not psychotherapy, yet like coaching and other modalities, the benefits of RIM are very therapeutic. RIM uses a variety of simple tools to facilitate the process and is client-led as opposed to facilitator led. The client is always safe and in complete control of their experience. 

​​​Dr. Deborah Sandella, the creator of RIM, teaches that we are all born with a natural organic Emotional Operating System or EOS and believes we are naturally creative, resourceful, whole and can self-heal. You can too.

“Since doing RIM, I have a lot less brain chatter, I'm more confident, I listen better, I'm a better parent and wife (less angry and I find the right words), and I'm better at doing things for me, not only for other people, and I think I have a little more clarity about the next chapter in my life.”
~ Veronika Wilsher, San Francisco

Creator of the RIM Method

Picture
RIM was created by Dr. Deborah Sandella.  Dr. Deb (as we call her) has a Doctorate in Human Communication and a Masters in Psychiatric Nursing. During the first 25 years of her career, she worked in a myriad of mental health settings from intensive services to private practice, in innovated two cutting-edge inpatient community-based programs. As an award-winning therapist, University Professor and a Best-selling author, she’s the whole package.  Dr. Deb initially synthesized aspects of Interactive Guided Imagery, Somatic techniques and other skills she’d found effective; yet, as RIM has evolved “through” her rather than “from” her as she humbly describes, it has developed a life of it’s own as a revolutionary whole-brain way of naturally processing emotion.  And, neuroscience now confirms what she’s been teaching for decades.
*RIM is specifically contraindicated (not for) for those with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and/or paranoia, or any condition that interrupts the ability to discern reality.

Personal Message from Michael

The RIM process is the most dynamic and powerful method I have ever experienced. It helped me identify and remove the blocks I didn't even know were there, and to overcome years of mental and emotional abuse. That’s why I had to learn this method and why my passion is to help people overcome the emotional/mental blocks that plague most of us. It’s also why I teach the RIM method. There are too many people needlessly suffering in the world. I want to be part of the solution. I can’t imagine a life without RIM, it changed me forever.

More of what others are saying

"Do you ever feel stuck? Emotionally? A traumatic experience? Stressful life? All of the above was me. Then I attended a few free workshops with Michael Kline, I felt a shift and an even greater shift after a private consultation. It has changed me. Has changed my life." ~ Scarlet, Sarasota, FL
"My job as a group therapist in a recovery center for women is challenging, and getting worse, leading to one awful day when I knew a change had to take place.  In a powerful RIM session, I realized that my task at hand was like being asked to dance with a large metal sculpture with sharp prongs sticking out. Michael introduced me to child proofing to make the situation safe and it became clear that I was absolutely within reason to walk away due to the dangerous situation.  I decided to step up once more and dance, but this time with child proofing.  The following day at work was amazing. The "sharp object" appeared and I did not get hurt and I had support. Additionally, the child proofing allowed me to watch the chaos through curious eyes and the answer to the question "is it me?" became so clear.  I can’t thank Michael enough for our powerful session and the real life results. I will no doubt use this tool again and again because of my right and responsibility to be safe and secure in my world."

Dear Mike, Thank you for working with me. As skeptical as I was, it actually worked and I was not comfortable working with anyone else. Over the last few weeks, I continue to become lighter and lighter and seem more at peace. ~ Chris from NC.

"Michael has a lovely manner, within minutes I felt at ease. I have experienced RIM before and am always blown away with the insights I get through this process. It enables me to connect the dots of present issues I'm facing with past hurts or patterns. This awareness has been key for me to let go and move through a couple of really challenging circumstances. I felt very 'held' during my session. The safe space he created in our session gave me permission to dig deep and uncover, without fear of judgement. His questions were powerful and seemed to create a wonderful feeling of leading me without being lead."
~ Natalie from CA
"I initially reached out for a RIM session to find out how this process could potentially help my clients move more quickly through their internal blocks. I discovered that it helped me see a story that was running unconsciously in my life. When we started the session I had nothing in particular to address, though with your expert guidance of creating an internal focus I was able to uncover how feeling responsible as a kid, for stuff that wasn't even mine, was holding me back from having more fun in my life now. Bringing this story to the surface created a shift that allows me to see that being responsible and having fun are not exclusive, I can do both. I now have the tools to be more light hearted. Thank you."
~ Dorothy Lazovik, President, Authentic Leaders Edge

Dear Mike,
The session with you was so beautiful and impacting. I have to be honest, my skepticism can some times get in the way of new experiences, but I have to say, I was blown away.
Your care and commitment to creating a sacred space was wonderful.  I felt safe while allowing myself to be vulnerable and the outcome was incredible. what a gift you are giving the world through this truly transformational work.  My happy wishes to your success!  Hugs and love,
~ Diane~ CA

" Dear Mike, I think of our session often. It was a far more personal and emotional experience than I had anticipated. I was struck right away by your ability to get to the heart of the issue. You were patient, compassionate and direct. You did not let me get away with anything. Your voice was comforting and steady. I made several revelations during the session. All my most private and challenging issues were touched upon because I felt safe exploring them. You have a tremendous gift in making others feel heard and unconditionally loved. I would recommend this powerful experience to anyone willing to get honest, go deep and find themselves. Love you Mike, as much as my German blood allows me to express it!"

Love more details?
RIM initially began as a synthesis of techniques that access the subconscious mind directly Somatic Therapy, Ericksonian Hypnosis and Interactive Guided Imagery and has continued to expand and evolve. The first study of RIM efficacy was a research intervention for people suffering with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This study found that RIM significantly decreases the symptoms of stress-related illness and significantly increases one's quality of life (Boxwell Dissertation, Holos University, 2004).

At the RIM Institute, we have seen remarkable recoveries. Clients stuck in grieving from earlier events like a loved one's suicide or murder find peace in one session. Clients with physical conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson have gone into remission. One client with a "complete" spinal cord injury is walking in braces. Psychologically, clients have freed themselves from traumatic memories, and others have learned how to use RIM to make wise decisions in a split second. We have learned from client feedback that, "When [clients] leave a psychotherapy session [they] feel good. After a RIM session, [they] feel different." RIM clients look and act different too! One spouse remarked about her husband, after his session given as a birthday gift, "He looks ten years younger."

In fact, the RIM process allows clients to re-generate their internal neurologically grounded sense of self in such a profound way, we believe their emotional memory is permanently altered for the better. The latest neuro-science findings support the efficacy of RIM by explaining that the brain and nervous system is "plastic" or changeable. According to researcher Dr. Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion), our emotional experiences are stored in the body at feeling-specific neurotransmitter sites and can be re-keyed to create different emotions than those feelings to which we have previously been addicted. Since the brain registers an imagined experience similar to a real experience, we can re-generate emotional memory to create neuro-pathways for new endings to old stories. All the while, factual memory remains stable. Finally, during the RIM process, clients integrate a new felt body-experience that translates to automatic or reflexive behavioral, physical, and psychological changes.

​More about the creator of RIM, Dr. Deb Sandella
Deborah began her career in the early 70's by innovating two creative programs to treat psychiatric clients in their local community rather than sending them off to the state hospital. She was recognized for developing extremely successful programs that effectively cut length of stays from 2-3 weeks down to 3-4 days and allowed families to become intimately involved in the treatment of their loved ones.

Dr. Sandella has been acknowledged with numerous professional awards; She was honored by her peers as "Outstanding Clinical Specialist," and received the "Research Excellence" Award for her doctoral dissertation funded by the Colorado Hospital Association. She received an EVVY "Best Personal Growth Book" Award, and her prosperity curriculum have been employed successfully by thousands of people.

Deborah has a Doctorate in Human Communication and a Masters in Psychiatric Nursing. She has been an assistant professor at the University of Colorado, a manager at a Community Mental Health Center, and a private practitioner. Her greatest gift is the ability to combine her adept professional skills with her own keen intuitive abilities. Using her lessons as a mother, wife, and seeker, she teaches how
to use one's intuition to live a balanced and happy life amid everyday chaos.

In 1993, Deborah began giving personal growth workshops and seminars in New Mexico and Colorado. Since that time, her retreats have expanded to Australia, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru. She is a master weaver of gentle, yet profoundly transformative learning experiences, and highly values the Chinese proverb, "Tell me and I may listen, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I will do it."

Deborah is a pioneer in developing techniques that break the mind-body barrier. Her RIM Institute offers products, workshops and individual sessions that significantly accelerate self-evolution and physical healing. Research found her book and CD significantly reduces stress-related illness. Currently, she trains others to become RIM Facilitators, so this powerful inner technology is easily available around the world.
RIM is NOT for people who have a mental illness, especially if their condition interrupts their ability to discern reality, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar (manic depression) and/or paranoia.
