SIP Research - Participation

SIP Research – Participation

Subconscious Integrative Psychotherapy (SIP) is a state-based psychotherapeutic framework currently in a foundational phase of scholarly and empirical development. Because SIP involves the study and facilitation of nonordinary but stable experiential states, research-related participation requires careful attention to ethical safeguards, clinical competence, and methodological fidelity.

​

At this stage, SIP is not offered for general clinical adoption, protocol replication, or unsupervised experimentation. Research participation is intentionally limited and selective, with an emphasis on protecting clients, preserving conceptual integrity, and supporting responsible academic inquiry.

Eligibility and Scope

Research-related inquiry may be appropriate for:

• Licensed mental health clinicians

• Clinicians with training in attachment-informed, trauma-informed, or experiential psychotherapy

• Researchers affiliated with academic or clinical institutions

• Individuals interested in theoretical development, phenomenological observation, or scholarly collaboration

Participation, where appropriate, focuses on conceptual clarification, phenomenological description, and ethical considerations rather than skill acquisition, technique training, or clinical instruction.

Preparation and Ethical Considerations

Because SIP engages experiential conditions that require careful pacing, regulation, and relational safety, any future research collaboration presumes:

• Familiarity with trauma-informed clinical practice

• Sensitivity to dissociation, overwhelm, and attachment-related vulnerability

• Commitment to a non-interpretive, non-directive therapist stance

• Respect for client readiness, autonomy, and ongoing regulation

Preparation for research participation emphasizes principles, safeguards, and methodological awareness rather than scripts, procedures, or replicable techniques.

Current Status

SIP is not currently offered as:

• a clinical protocol

• a training program

• a certification pathway

• a commercial or consumer-facing intervention

Future opportunities for structured collaboration or empirical study may be considered as the scholarly and empirical foundation of the framework continues to develop.
