Episode notes
Fragmentation As Developmental Process
- SIP II reframes fragmentation as a natural developmental outcome of relational and neurobiological processes.
- It synthesizes IFS, ego state, and structural dissociation into a non-linear developmental model for clinicians to use.
Track Therapist Reactivity In Loops
- Notice your own internal responses during sessions because therapist activation contributes to the therapeutic loop.
- Use that intersubjective awareness to guide clients toward memory reconciliation and trauma resolution.
Why Parts Work Aligns With Neurobiology
- Early attachment and developmental experiences shape which parts of self are allowed expression and which become exiled.
- Understanding that neurobiological origin explains why parts-based therapies (IFS, ego-state) are effective.
