SIP 1 · Registration Open
Somatic Integration and Processing
Relationship. Body. Memory.
A three-day case conceptualization training for trauma-focused clinicians. One way of seeing the whole room, so the modalities you already use cohere into a single picture of the person in front of you.
SIP 1 is for you if…
- You have real training in EMDR, IFS, somatic or parts work, and you still feel like you are improvising the through-line between them.
- Something in a session worked and you could not say why, or the protocol stopped telling you what to do next with complex trauma, shame, or dissociation.
- You want case conceptualization that is clear, relational, and repeatable across every modality you use, not another modality to learn.
What you'll learn
By the end of SIP 1, you'll be able to:
- 01
Increase conceptualization skills with an emphasis on interpreting symptoms and behavior through a developmental and nervous system informed perspective.
- 02
Teach participants a clinical approach to case conceptualization that is trauma informed and focused on the impact of past experience on present behavior.
- 03
Prepare participants to anchor clients in the safety of a co-regulated relationship before beginning therapeutic processing of past traumas and life experiences.
- 04
Prepare participants to utilize the theory and tools of SIP to track client's progress in sessions and over the course of the therapeutic relationship.

Jen Savage
EMDRIA-Approved Trainer and Consultant
Jen Savage is an EMDRIA-Approved Trainer and Consultant at Beyond Healing and one of the founding theorists of Somatic Integration and Processing. She has trained hundreds of clinicians in EMDR and built BHI's somatic and relational approach, a method that treats EMDR not as a protocol to apply but as a deeply relational process to inhabit. Her clinical work, training, and consultation sit at the intersection of EMDR, somatic psychology, and the therapeutic relationship.
Dr. Bridger Falkenstien
PhD, LPC, NCC · EMDRIA-Approved Trainer and Consultant
Bridger Falkenstien is one of the founding theorists of Somatic Integration and Processing and the voice of the SIP walkthrough. He wrote the SIP chapter in IFS-Informed EMDR: Creative and Collaborative Approaches (Routledge) and the SIP research brief on the wound, the strategy, and the belief, and he co-hosts Notice That, the EMDR podcast he and Jen have run for years. A licensed professional counselor, he co-teaches the EMDR Basic Training and leads several of BHI's ongoing consultation groups.
Caleb Boston

Caleb Boston is a psychotherapist, trainer, and consultant at Beyond Healing and one of the founding theorists of Somatic Integration and Processing. A co-author of Somatic Integration and Processing I and II and Body in Mind, his work integrates somatic principles, polyvagal theory, and developmental neuroscience into trauma treatment. He has practiced EMDR for over five years, hosts The Evidence Based Therapist podcast and SomaPsyche, and offers individual and group consultation for therapists refining their approach to EMDR, case conceptualization, and somatic integration.
Why SIP
You don't need another modality. You need a way to hold the ones you already have.
Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP) is an integrator: the case-conceptualization layer that lets the modalities a therapist already uses, EMDR, parts work, somatic work, attachment work, cohere into one picture of the person in the room. It draws on interpersonal neurobiology, attachment and neurodevelopment, somatic psychology, the Adaptive Information Processing model, memory reconsolidation, and parts and ego-state theory. Modalities cannot integrate themselves. SIP is the layer that makes them work as one.
SIP is not another modality. It is not a rival to EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, AEDP, or the relational and psychodynamic traditions many of us also work inside. SIP is the layer beneath the modality: the case-conceptualization ground that lets us name what is happening in the room, especially when the protocol we are trained in has stopped telling us what to do next.
SIP is a three-person psychology: the client, the therapist, and the relationship between them. It explicitly includes the person of the therapist, their own parts, nervous system, and use of self, as equally present in the room. None of what the lenses pick up is visible outside a relationship, and what the therapist does with the case's invitation is the treatment.
“The most powerful shift was never learning one more technique. It's learning to see yourself in the room.”
The three lenses
Relationship. Body. Memory. Three lenses on the same person.
Grounded in safety and co-regulation, and held inside the relationship between client and therapist. Each lens picks up a different part of one case, and the treatment plan falls out of seeing all three at once.
Lens 01 · Relationship
Attachment and neurodevelopment
The formative relationships that taught the body its first lessons, the adult relationships that repeat their shape, and the therapy itself.
Lens 02 · Body
Somatic psychology
The nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do, on schedule, including the dissociation that shows up when activation gets big.
Lens 03 · Memory
Adaptive Information Processing and memory reconsolidation
Not only what happened, but the lesson stored with it, and what has to be true in the room before any of it can update.
SIP is
- The case-conceptualization layer beneath the modality
- A three-person psychology: the client, the therapist, and the relationship between them
- Portable into EMDR, IFS, somatic and parts work, and the relational and psychodynamic traditions
- One shared language for the case: core wound, strategy, pro-symptom belief, somatic correlates
SIP is not
- Another modality
- A rival to EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, or AEDP
- A request to abandon your training
- A protocol or a script
The full argument, with a composite case run through all three lenses and built into a treatment plan, is the 26-minute walkthrough: watch it and read the transcript.
How this compares
Most advanced trainings add a technique to the modality you already have. SIP adds the layer beneath it: the case conceptualization that tells you which move the case is asking for, and when. It carries 10 EMDRIA Advanced Training hours and 21 NBCC hours, and it does not require EMDR. The walkthrough works an EMDR case because that is our fluency, and the way of seeing travels into whatever you practice.
It runs as three consecutive days with one cohort, learning it first in yourselves and then for the people you sit with. If you want to read the framework before you train in it, the full walkthrough, the chapter, the research brief, and the companion worksheet are free, with no form and no email. Watch the walkthrough and read SIP first.
From past participants
What clinicians say about SIP
“The SIP training was a game-changer in my approach to case conceptualization and working with clients. It's a lot of information to cover in three days, so I am grateful for the opportunity to review the slides and audio. Listening to the podcast was also great preparation for familiarizing myself with the concepts discussion during the training.”
“This was a great experience from beginning to end. The concepts of SIP are very affirming to my heart as a therapist, and it gives words and organization to a way of therapy that makes total sense to me! I am very excited to integrate SIP more into my own practice and see where it takes me in the future!”
“Everything about the training was exceptional! It was incredibly evident how much work went into putting this training together. I could feel the passion for the material which was so inspiring! SIP is going to completely transform not only my work with clients but my life outside of the office as well.”
“SIP is the blueprint I knew I was missing from my work with clients but didn't know how to explain. While there was a lot of information and the presenters prepared us for the left brain heaviness of the training, their natural engagement and enthusiasm for the topics made it very easy to stay connected to the material. I already feel a lot of creative energy about how to re-approach clients I've been stuck with.”
“The best training I've ever attended.”
FAQ
Questions clinicians ask before registering.
- No. SIP is not another modality competing with EMDR, IFS, Polyvagal, Somatic Experiencing, or ego-state work, and it never asks anyone to abandon their training. It is the integrative case-conceptualization layer that lets the modalities a therapist already uses cohere into one picture of the person in the room.
- No. SIP has deep roots in relational EMDR, and the walkthrough workshops an EMDR case because EMDR is Bridger's modality. The framework itself is portable: trauma-focused clinicians of any modality use the same way of seeing inside the work they already do.
- Licensed mental health professionals, pre-licensed clinicians working under supervision, and graduate students in the clinical portion of an accredited mental health program. Register first; we collect any required documentation after registration.
