The Emotional and Psychosomatic Regulation Integrated Psychotherapy (PIREP) is an integrated psychotherapy clinical model with an evolutionary and relational approach, in favor of an intervention aimed at regulating the emotions and bodily sensation of the patient (self-regulation and autonomic regulation), as well as their psychosomatic wellbeing, both when they are with themselves and in their intimate and interpersonal relations (intimacy regulation). This is bio-psycho-social model of intervention, which is open to the innovations that continuously establish themselves in clinical psychology, clinical psychiatry, affective neuroscience and psychosomatic medicine, currently found around the attachment, evolutionary trauma, complex trauma and PTSD theory new possibilities of integration between the dynamic clinical and the interpersonal behavioral cognitive models.

In particular, the PIREP model is polyvagal informed, namely a clinical application of Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory, an integrated therapeutic process which gradually allows the patient, through encouragement of the body-mind insight, to transform their own unconscious dysfunctional patterns and regulate their own emotions and psychosomatic states at the service of their safety in staying with themselves and with the others.
