Find Healing at the Root — Experience Emotional Freedom Through MAP, IPT, and My Unique Blend of Both.

 

Let me help you access your body's innate ability to heal so you can have have a more balanced and joy filled life.

I’m Alissa Wakefield, one of the only practitioners in the world who blends the MAP Method™ and the Integrative Processing Technique (IPT) into a unique trauma-healing approach. My work is faith-centered (when desired), neuroscience-informed, and designed to help you release pain, rewire limiting beliefs, and reconnect with peace.

 

What Makes My Approach Different?

Most people only have access to one method. I bring together two: The MAP Method™ – a gentle, neuroscience-based approach that clears subconscious blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs without reliving trauma.

 

Integrative Processing Technique (IPT) – a structured, trauma-informed method that helps you consciously process, integrate, and release emotional pain.

 

My Unique Blend: By combining these two methods, you receive a complete healing experience—addressing both the subconscious and conscious mind—so that transformation lasts.

The MAP Method™ — Gentle Healing Through the Subconscious

 

The MAP Method™ (Make Anything Possible) is a breakthrough neuroscience-based process that helps you release trauma, fears, and limiting beliefs—without reliving the pain of the past.

Instead of forcing you to revisit memories, MAP works directly with your brain’s natural ability to heal and rewire itself. This creates lasting freedom, peace, and clarity.

With MAP, clients often experience:

  • Relief from anxiety and overwhelm

  • Freedom from self-sabotage and old patterns

  • Emotional healing without retraumatization

  • A deeper sense of balance and purpose

What is IPT?

IPT or Integrative Processing Technique is a method of releasing negative, heavy, painful, and traumatic emotions. These emotions are stored in the body and cluster around difficult or emotionally charged experiences and memories. Emotions are simply energy.  If the emotions are never released, they will stay in the body, continuing to cause damage and fuel negative beliefs, corrosive coping mechanisms, and self-doubt.

 

The IPT process assists with accessing stored emotions and releasing them without causing further trauma. The most powerful part of the process is the ability to find, clear, and update the belief systems (or view of self and others) that were created by the traumatic experience. The process is gentle, yet powerful, and is a tool to decrease anxiety while increasing empowerment in all areas of your life.

 Can You Use MAP and IPT?

*Do you experience depression or anxiety?

*Have endured intense trauma or grief?

*Do you want to break a habit or break free from an addiction?

*Do you feel unmotivated or listless?

*Do you get irritated by small things?

*Is it hard to lose weight or stick to a diet? 

*Do you feel a lot of regret?

*Do you assume that most bad things that happen are your fault?

*Do you feel like relationships are hard?

*Do you think you can never have what you want?​

 

If any of these questions resonate with you, then you can benefit from IPT. It is my strong belief that everyone can benefit from the IPT process.

Testimonial

I have done therapy on and off for many years. I have learned some of the reasons I do what I do. Most therapists I have been to have limited time each session and I couldn't seem to get past a certain point (largely because I had no idea there was more.) Until... 

My current therapist sent me to Alissa Wakefield. 

Alissa uses IPT (Integrative Processing Technique) and MAP (Making Anything Possible.) Her sessions are up to two hours long so you can complete the whole process. The best part, she has learned how to tap into our Intelligence/Super-Conscious to get to the hidden things that creep into our behaviors, that we just can't figure out or understand. 

The process seems new and different at first and you wonder what?? But trust the process. I am proof it works! I have been able to do things I thought I would never be able to do and stop the panic responses I couldn't before. I'm not a scientist so I don't understand how it works. But there are many things in my world that I don't understand how they work, but I still use them because they make my life better. Alissa, IPT, and MAP are at the top of that list. You can trust her and you can trust the process. Your family will be forever grateful you did, AND so will you.

What Does a MAP/IPT Session Entail?

Psychotherapy Session

Curious about what happens in a session? Many people are surprised by how simple, gentle, and effective it is—yet deeply transformative. Here’s what to expect:

  1. First Session: Brain Training & Education
    In the first session, you’ll watch a short brain training video that explains how memories are formed, how trauma “parts” are created, and how they can be treated. This video is a one-time introduction that trains your superconscious mind to participate in the healing process.

  2. Relaxed, Open State
    Afterward, you’ll be gently guided into a calm, receptive state. This isn’t hypnosis—it’s simply a safe mental space where your mind and body can work together for healing.

  3. Subconscious Healing with MAP
    Using the MAP Method™                   W    e invite your superconscious mind to locate and neutralize painful memories, emotional triggers, and limiting beliefs. You don’t have to relive or describe past trauma—the process works beneath the surface, safely and powerfully.

  4. Conscious Integration with IPT
    If necessary, we use Integrative Processing Technique (IPT) to help you consciously understand, integrate, and stabilize the changes. This ensures that the subconscious healing is fully anchored into your daily life and relationships.

  5. Subsequent Sessions
    In later sessions, we go straight into the process—no need for the training video again. Each time, your superconscious becomes stronger and more efficient at supporting your healing journey.

  6. Results You Can Feel
    Most clients leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace—often with renewed hope, spiritual connection, and emotional freedom.
