I’ve been studying Psychedelic Somatic Interaction Psychotherapy (PSIP) for a few years now – this is the work of Saj Rasvi. In the video I refer to Saj’s characterization of the autonomic nervous system’s response to overwhelming experiences. I should have said that this is his version of the defense cascade (not a new contribution as a full model).
