A model for truly integrative therapy: SIP with Dr Melanie Lee and Bridger Falkenstein

A model for truly integrative therapy: SIP with Dr Melanie Lee and Bridger FalkensteinI'm here today with Dr Mel Lee from Trust Psychology, and Bridger Falkenstein from the Beyond Healing Centre in the US, and notably also from the Notice That podcast. I'm really excited to have Mel and Bridger here today to talk to us about Somatic Integration Processing, which is a new model which aims to help us to synthesise the other approaches that we might have in our arsenal as therapists. SIP has a really deep focus on the mind and body connection, and also on the multiplicity of selves. For me, these are two things that have always been a really big part of my work, but I have often struggled to see how they all come together and fit into a treatment plan.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks for Mel:Website: www.trustpsychology.co.ukEmail: [email protected]@trustpsychology.co.ukLinkedIn: Dr Melanie Lee Trust Psychology The Business of Psychology Episode 61: Turning a practice into a service with Dr Melanie LeeLinks for Bridger:Website: www.beyondhealingcenter.comFacebook: Beyond Healing CenterInstagram: @beyondhealingcenter417Notice That PodcastBeyond Trauma PodcastEvidence Based Therapist PodcastThe highlights I welcome and introduce Mel and Bridger 00:01Bridger tells us about why he created SIP and why it needed to exist 03:09Mel tells us what drew her to SIP, and we talk more about the model 06:53Bridger explains his background and what brought the elements of SIP to the forefront of his mind at the right moment 16:27Mel talks about how SIP helps her feel like a ‘therapy ninja’ in the therapy room 20:04Bridger and Mel take up through the core aspects of an SIP case conceptualization 34:22Mel gives us an example of a common thing that she would talk about now that she might not have named before 40:42Bridger tells us about the plan for getting SIP out to more therapists 47:36I ask about the business side of SIP 49:42Mel tells us how people can get involved 53:27Membership Changes - Join Now!Before you go, I just wanted to remind you that we are making some big changes at the moment to
