Let’s unpack what’s happening.
1️⃣ This is PSIP (Psych3d3lic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy), a therapeutic approach that works with implicit, or unconscious, memory. These memories are stored in body sensations, emotions, and imagery—things that aren’t always accessible through words.
Working with this kind of memory can be challenging, but it’s essential for addressing deeply held developmental trauma.
PSIP is particularly effective for Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) because that trauma is stored deep within the nervous system and is hard to reach with traditional therapy methods when secondary (ego) consciousness is on board with all of its protective mechanisms.
2️⃣ To get into this part of the brain and body, PSIP uses something called Selective Inhibition (SI), which involves intentionally letting go of coping strategies to allow involuntary nervous system responses to emerge and process.
You can see one of these responses in the video. My body is doing this autonomically—I’m not consciously controlling any of it.
The different channels through which SI is used include physical, emotional, mental, and relational inhibition.
3️⃣ The ‘Psych3delic’ aspect of PSIP involves the use of cann@bis$ or ket@min3 to support this process.
In this video, I’m using c@nnabi$ to help guide my nervous system. ☘️
This clip is about 20 minutes into a session. By this point, I’ve inhibited my voluntary coping mechanisms enough that my body is starting to release. And this is just the beginning—it gets more intense as the session goes on.
So, why would someone go through something like this?
