Science Behind the Reitenbach Kissinger Institute and MKS Master Key System Coaching Programs
Researchers have published studies claiming metaphysics consulting and coaching produce significant mental health improvements, but external experts raised concerns about study validity, sample sizes, and potential researcher bias.
Core psychological frameworks underpinning metaphysical consulting and coaching for depression include various integrative approaches that combine spiritual and psychological practices.
Spiritual Integration
Metaphysical counseling often incorporates spiritual elements such as meditation, mindfulness, and prayer, which can enhance psychological well-being. Research indicates that spiritually integrated therapies can be more effective than traditional methods in improving mental health outcomes.
Holistic Approaches
These programs typically address the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person’s life, aiming for a comprehensive healing process. This holistic view aligns with transpersonal psychology, which emphasizes the integration of spiritual experiences into therapeutic practices.
Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques
Some metaphysical programs utilize cognitive-behavioral strategies, adapting them to include spiritual dimensions. For instance, spiritual psychotherapy combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with spiritual practices to address depression in various treatment settings.
Meta-Analytic Support
Evidence from meta-analyses suggests that integrating spirituality into counseling can lead to better psychological and spiritual functioning, indicating a potential benefit for those experiencing depressio

Reitenbach Kissinger Institute Seminars
Recent studies have examined the impact of metaphysical seminars on depression outcomes, but findings are mixed. Two notable papers have reported on this topic, focusing on the efficacy of meditation and related practices in improving mental health.
Study Findings
- One paper highlighted that certain meditation techniques, including those taught in metaphysical seminars, may lead to significant improvements in depressive symptoms. However, the evidence is often based on self-reported outcomes, which can introduce bias.
- Another study emphasized the need for rigorous methodologies, noting that some claims about the benefits of these seminars lack robust scientific backing. This raises questions about the reliability of the reported outcomes.
Considerations
- The effectiveness of metaphysical seminars may vary widely among individuals, influenced by personal beliefs and the specific practices employed.
- Further research is necessary to establish a clearer understanding of how these seminars impact mental health, particularly in controlled settings.
Reitenbach Kissinger Institute Consulting and Coaching
Metaphysical consulting and coaching have shown promise in improving depression outcomes. Two notable studies highlight this effectiveness:
Mental Health Coaching
A longitudinal study from CuraLinc Healthcare demonstrated that mental health coaching provided through Employee Assistance Programs significantly improved depression and employee work outcomes over a two-year period. This suggests that structured coaching can lead to meaningful improvements in mental health for employees.
2. Trained Lay Coaches and CBT Tools
Another study found that trained lay coaches, when combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)-based self-care tools, were associated with improved depression outcomes in patients with chronic conditions. While the results were not as pronounced among cancer survivors, the overall findings indicate that coaching can be beneficial for mental health.

Findings showed that these events create unique physiological, biochemical, and psychological effects that create transformative lasting results.
Core Psychological Frameworks Behind Programs claiming metaphysical consulting or coaching improved depression outcomes
Programs that claim depression improvements typically operate through psychological mechanisms grounded in established therapeutic frameworks—primarily goal-setting, cognitive reframing, and self-efficacy enhancement—rather than through supernatural or metaphysical means.
Research on routinely delivered psychological therapies shows large pre-post treatment effects for depression (d = 0.96), suggesting that structured interventions, regardless of their framing, can produce measurable outcomes. The apparent efficacy often reflects common therapeutic mechanisms rather than the metaphysical claims themselves, including the placebo effect, therapeutic alliance, and behavioral activation.
Psychological Frameworks Disguised as Metaphysical Practice
Coaching for depression emphasizes action-oriented, solution-focused approach that help individuals break cycles of hopelessness by focusing on strengths and personal goals. Metaphysical framing often wraps these established mechanisms in spiritual or mystical language.
Core frameworks include:
- Goal clarification and forward momentum: Identifies achievable objectives and creates pathways toward them, directly opposing the rumination characteristic of depression
- Strength-based perspective: Emphasizes existing resources rather than deficits, aligning with positive psychology principles
- Personal agency and empowerment: Positions clients as decision-makers, reducing learned helplessness
Meta-coaching methodology is grounded in metacognition and self-reflexive processing, helping clients become aware of and modify their own thinking patterns—a mechanism distinct from metaphysical claims but embedded within them.
Why Metaphysical Framing May Appear Effective
Metaphysical programs create perceived efficacy through several overlapping psychological mechanisms that operate independently of supernatural claims.
Multiverse meta-analyses of psychotherapies for depressi found that 90% of over 4,000 meta-analyses produced clinically relevant effect sizes (g = 0.56 average), demonstrating that structured interventions work across diverse frameworks. Key contributors to perceived improvement include:
- Placebo and expectancy effects: Belief in metaphysical intervention activates neurobiological reward pathways
- Therapeutic alliance: The practitioner-client relationship itself predicts outcomes, independent of method
- Hope and meaning-making: Attributing depression to metaphysical causes (e.g., “energy imbalance”) can reframe suffering as addressable
- Measurement artifacts: Self-reported mood improvement may reflect demand characteristics or retrospective bias rather than sustained change
Health and wellness coaching meta-analyses show improvements in depression, anxiety, and quality of life, but these gains reflect evidence-based coaching principles—not metaphysical mechanisms. The risk is that metaphysical framing may obscure accountability for outcomes or delay evidence-based treatment seeking.
