FAQs
RIM® is an unprecedented inner technology for the twenty-first century. It is a gentle, yet profoundly effective process that reconstructs affirming images in cellular memory to create subconscious changes for accelerated emotional and physical wellbeing, and greater success. It releases your extraordinary hidden resources to lift your spirit, heal your mind and body, and inspire effortless action!
You can find a RIM® Facilitator through the RIM® Institute Facilitator Registry. Review the Facilitator profiles, interview the ones that resonate with you, choose the one that fits your needs and make an appointment.
When RIM® is used as a brief intervention or adjunctively with other types of practices, it takes 5-20 minutes. A formal RIM® session is generally 1 — 2 hours long, which includes time to talk with your Facilitator before and after the RIM® process.
RIM® works on mental, emotional, physical and any other type of issue that inhibits you from living a healthy, happy and successful life. RIM® is highly recommended for people who feel they are doing everything they can to fulfill their dreams of health, wealth and happiness, yet obstacles continue to show up to block their path.
Unlike many techniques, each RIM® session accomplishes a complete piece of work; thus, some people get everything they want from one session. Other clients find it beneficial to experience 3-5 sessions so a new way of being is firmly and broadly established. When working on a physical illness, shorter more frequent, longer-term sessions can be more effective to reprogram the cells for healing and health.
When RIM® is used within other types of practices, a RIM® intervention can take 5-20 minutes. A formal RIM® session is generally 1½ hours — 2 hours long, which includes time for you and the Facilitator to talk before and after the RIM® process. Sessions can be successfully done in-person, on the phone or on Skype.
There really is no formal preparation required for a RIM® session. However, it is helpful if you notice and share with your Facilitator any unusual thoughts, feelings, dreams or experiences that occur just prior to your appointment.

The RIM® Institute is looking for applicants who are sincerely interested in becoming outstanding helping professionals; people who are struggling with personal mental health issues are not good candidates.
An undergraduate college degree is considered foundational for the facilitator classes. Motivated applicants lacking this pre-requisite may submit their application with an explanation as to why they ought to be considered. These candidates will be evaluated on an individual basis.
There are four RIM® programs available which progressively advance the Facilitator’s skills and intuition from basic to expert.
RIM® Essentials Program: This program is ideal for people who want a powerful process for personal use and want a profoundly effective process in their professional tool box of skills. It is a great adjunct to any coaching, training, counseling, *business consulting, teaching, healing arts, holistic or medical practice and others interested in initiating a helping career.
*RIM® skills have been found to be significantly beneficial for managers in all kinds of businesses in communicating with employees and other managers.
Certified RIM® Facilitator Program: This program is perfect for individuals and professionals who desire to have the skills to deal with whatever kind of issue that may arise in a RIM® session including those deeply entrenched issues. This program builds on the RIM® Essentials Program and teaches advanced intergenerational tools. Individuals and professionals that pursue this course of study often open their own RIM® practice or use the full extent of RIM® in a current practice or their leadership positions.
Master RIM® Facilitator Program: This program is created for professionals who are truly called to do very deep work with challenging client issues or have an aspiration to expand the RIM® outreach by coaching other RIM® Facilitators. They have mastered the Essential RIM® skills and can apply them seamlessly during sessions. They are committed to becoming experts in taking people beyond the ‘RIM® .’
RIM® Essentials Train-the-Trainer Program: This program equips Master RIM® Facilitators with the skills and training tools to teach RIM® Essentials to other professionals so more people are empowered to transform their lives to new levels of peace, health and success.
No, a special background in psychology is not required to become a RIM® Facilitator. Since RIM® is a transformative technique and not psychotherapy or coaching, students in the RIM® Facilitator programs DO NOT learn how to conduct either psychotherapy or coaching sessions. These skills must be acquired elsewhere.
RIM® is a transformational, body-centered technique built upon the belief that each individual is whole at their core. When we clear the emotional debris of human experience, we can access a very wise and enlightened resource within the self. The RIM® process is client-generated — it creates the primary relationship between client and him/herself rather than with the Facilitator. Further, the RIM® process operates on whole brain activity by tapping the left brain as the operating system to understand the insights and resources of the right intuitive brain. Because of these fundamental differences, the RIM® Facilitator’s role is quite different from a coach or psychotherapist. On the other hand, RIM® does require professionalism, integrity and a sincere willingness to continuously address one’s own issues so they do not get in the way.
The RIM® Facilitator is not the expert or leader in the process; rather the RIM® Facilitator follows and then guides the client to access subconscious and hidden blocks, which are quickly dissolved via RIM® skills. The RIM® process does not include intellectual or analytic understanding of psychodynamics. Rather, clients are guided to actually re-generate new self-affirming visceral experiences that result in a different felt body experience. Clients walk out of a session not only feeling better, also feeling different! This difference shows up spontaneously in how they move, speak, make decisions, make requests, and feel. Clients frequently look younger and more vital with a sparkle returning to their eyes. Adolescent clients frequently look more mature and act in less rebellious ways. The RIM® model promotes self-growth by spacing sessions out 2-3 weeks unless crisis conditions or physical symptoms require different timing.
RIM® can be a quick and immediate intervention whenever someone or a group has gone into a fear or panic response. RIM® instantly snaps them out of circular negative thinking and brings them back into their bodies. Being present in their bodies, people are able to access internal resources and address the current situation. Similarly, RIM® is able to dissolve past moments of terror stuck in memory, so one’s awareness is 100% available. Eventually, RIM® becomes an inventive way of engaging life so that our internal resources remain constantly and intimately available to us.
RIM® is grounded in the latest neuro-science research. These recent scientific findings substantiate how RIM® effectively works to directly access and dissolve hidden blocks stored in emotional memory. Read more about these in Perspectives in Psychiatric Care, April, 2007 and Goodbye Hurt & Pain, 7 Simple Steps to Health, Love & Success.
Unlike methods based in intellectual understanding and analytical skill development, RIM® allows the facilitator to guide the client around and under old defenses to permanently change. As hidden emotions and self-limiting beliefs gently come into awareness, the RIM® process actively empowers the client to transform and create new self-affirming emotional memory. RIM® allows the client to dissolve blocks specific to an identified problem or issue.
That all depends on your current level of expertise, your level of commitment, and a number of other variables. Some people add this tool to their professional tool box enhancing their existing practices while others create new RIM® practices. Business managers use it to improve their communication skills with employees and other managers. Still others use RIM® for their own personal growth or to improve the lives of those around them. The opportunities are unlimited with RIM® in your resume!
