Welcome to episode 30 of the Therapy Explained podcast. I am delighted to be joined by Dr. Melanie Lee and Bridger Falkenstien. This is a return to the show for Mel whom I spoke with in episode 14 about Cognitive Analytic Therapy and a first appearance for Bridger although he is well accustomed to the world of podcasting with his own podcasts, the Notice That podcast and the Evidence-Based Therapist podcast, both of which I am a big fan of.

Mel and Bridger are here to speak about Somatic Integration and Processing, a conceptual model developed to help clinicians have a deeper understanding of working with clients.

SIP is grounded in attachment and neurodevelopment, Adaptive Information Processing and Polyvagal Theory all of which are covered today. There is a lot to unpack with SIP so if you want to find out more there are free taster webinars for all therapists, psychologists, case managers, health professionals, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and medics.

The first is on Wednesday 15th June at 7pm (UK time) and is called “Working Somatically in Psychotherapy” with another one on Wednesday 13th July at 7pm (UK time), called “Multiplicity of Self in Psychotherapy”.

To register interest in the free webinars, please email info@trustpsychology.co.uk

Further full-day online training will take place on 1st October 2022: “Introduction to Somatic Integration Processing: how to unleash your inner therapy ninja!”.
