This training is designed for psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, and somatic practitioners (including Certified TIP Foundations Practitioners, SEP, RSMT, RCST, etc.). It is also open to psychedelic therapy providers and clinicians seeking to deepen their skills with relational dynamics, boundaries, and transference work.

While the TIP Foundations Training is not a formal prerequisite, it is highly recommended. This training builds upon its core concepts, deepening your understanding of procedural, event, and semantic memory as they appear in transference dynamics.

That said, practitioners with backgrounds in somatic or transference-based work are very welcome, even if they haven’t taken the TIP Foundations course. If you are interested in a Foundations course, there will be opportunities both before and after the October training to participate.

While this is not a psychedelic-assisted therapy training per se, a portion of the training will address how somatic therapy can be integrated with psychedelics safely and ethically. This includes recognizing and working with transference and countertransference dynamics that may arise in non-ordinary states of consciousness. Practitioners in the psychedelic field often find TIP’s clarity, ethical rigor, and embodied boundary work to be a valuable complement to their existing frameworks.

Dr. Eric Wolterstorff will lead the training. Dr. Herbert Grassmann will join as co-leader when enrollment reaches 14 or more participants.
