Principle 7: The Practice is the Practice
The practice is the practice. We do not bolt on additional modalities, however valuable they may be in other contexts.
Commentary
Keeps the practice focused. Prevents drift into an eclectic mash-up where other modalities (somatic work, IFS, meditation traditions, coaching tools) get folded into EPI under the same banner.
Status notes
v3, ready for team review. Named in source Open Questions as a friction point — “most likely to create friction with current or future practitioners.” Worth explicit team discernment in review.
