This therapeutic work integrates Psychoneuroimmunology-based behavioural interventions, including mindfulness,positive psychology, internal dominant focus (IDF), CBT, Narrative & psychodynamic regression therapy, relaxation-based techniques that modulate neurotransmitters, autonomic functioning, and immune pathways by neuroplasticity activated by self for higher positivity .
Therapeutic Approaches
Swati R Shiv provides an integrated therapeutic model that blends positive psychology, quantitative neurophysiology, mindfulness, qualitative psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), and the study of Internal Dominant Focus (IDF) to address emotional, behavioural, and mind–body concerns. Her approach goes beyond symptom management, working to identify and transform the deeper emotional and subconscious patterns that shape behaviour, stress responses, autonomic functioning, immune balance, and long-term psychological well-being.
This therapeutic framework is highly effective for individuals experiencing unipolar depression, anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, career conflicts, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, and challenges related to memory, focus, and emotional regulation. Progress is monitored using evidence-based psychological scales and structured surveys that quantitatively measure improvement over time.
While this integrative approach is not designed as a primary treatment for psychosis, depersonalisation disorders, bipolar depression, cluster disorders, sleep disorders, learning or response disabilities, or birth-related neurological conditions, it offers valuable insight, emotional stabilisation tools, and self-management strategies that support overall functioning.
The central goal of this therapy is to cultivate higher well-being through developing a more positive Internal Dominant Focus, consistent mindfulness practice, and reduced involvement in repetitive negative thinking loops. Negative emotional and cognitive patterns are more effectively interrupted by shifting the internal dominant focus using principles of psychoneuroimmunology, rather than relying solely on cognitive restructuring. Sustainable neuroplastic change becomes visible through improved emotional responses, greater clarity, and higher levels of positivity in daily functioning.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Shift from negative dominant focus (fear, anxiety, anger) to positive focus
Psychoeducation in insight, mindfulness, emotional neutrality, and positive thinking habits
Track progress on a timeline to evaluate the impact of intervention
NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming )
Change of memories , Deleting & Resinstalling Vibrational Memories
Focused relaxation, autonomic resetting, and mind–body alignment
PNI link: reduces sympathetic activation and improves hormonal and immune functioning
Past Life Therapy & Age Regression ( Based Psychodynamic Analysis)
Understanding repetitive emotional patterns from root causes
Releasing negative thought patterns and energy cords using NLP & insight
Using a method of narrative analysis with respone testing mechanisms
Reframing and rescripting the narrative for healthier emotional reactions
Enhancing clarity, self-awareness, decision-making and emotional regulation
Psychoeducation on maintaining positivity using meditation, self-affirmations, and awareness
Quantitative surveys show chronic depression normalises in 5–15 hours (1–3 days)
Psychoneuroimmunology methods incorporated for maintenance and long-term stability
Focus is on Psyvhodynamic analysis and reviving Positivity not on falsehood or reality of memories
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Practices
Understanding neurotransmitter activation during suppressed emotional reactions
Using Advanced NLP to reset neural connections with conscious awareness
PNI link: improving parasympathetic tone supports immune recovery and endocrine stability
