Episode notes
SIP's Theoretical Integration
- Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP) synthesizes attachment neurodevelopment, somatic psychology, and adaptive information processing for deep case conceptualization.\n- This integrated lens helps therapists zoom from moment details to the big picture for effective therapy planning.
Bottom-Up Developmental Healing
- SIP emphasizes a developmental bottom-up approach starting from bodily sensations to cognitive understanding.\n- Healing relationally through experience mirrors the original developmental wiring of the nervous system.
Use Somatic Cues in Therapy
- Focus on the client's body sensations like breathing and posture to inform therapy insights and interventions.\n- Engage with clients' bodily experiences to promote holistic systemic healing, not just cognitive shifts.
