What Is the Recursive Integrated Model?

What Is the Recursive Integrated Model?

The Recursive Integrated Model (RIM) provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interconnected layers of human experience and development.

  • 1

    Cognitive Layer

    How we perceive, think, and make meaning of our experiences

  • 2

    Emotional Layer

    How we feel and process our emotional responses

  • 3

    Physical Layer

    How our bodies respond to and influence our experience

  • 4

    Spiritual Layer

    How we connect to meaning, purpose, and transcendence

  • 5

    Relational Layer

    How we interact with others and our environment

  • 6

    Vocational and Financial Layer

    Align work, money, and mission.

The RIM model is recursive because each layer influences and is influenced by the others in a continuous feedback loop. By working with all six layers, we can develop greater resilience, clarity, and well-being.
