This practice-based evidence approach demonstrates how to measure change, using digital assessments by Pragmatic Tracker and Blueprints weekly on a wide variety of empirical measures. The article utilizes an ICBEST model for psychotherapeutic interventions. Some of the specific interventions utilized in this case study include integrated forgiveness therapy, the positive pressure point techniques, guided imagery, re-scripting, bilateral stimulation, breathing, meditation, psychological uplifter, the flash technique, “love in all directions”, and “spiritual awakening’’ tools. Graphs of change show significant and often marked changes on digital assessments measured online by Pragmatic Tracker and Blueprint. Therapeutic progress is also indicated by the typed exercises the client shared over the course of the 22 sessions. Major ingredients of change during psychotherapy with this client were cognitive-affective balance, cognitive-affective flexibility and life balance.
