Overview
Psychodynamic psychotherapy has proven highly effective in short-term contexts, and its core principles are surprisingly straightforward to grasp. In this workshop, Dr. Bradley will demystify the central theories behind this technique's success, including:
- The development of internal working models
- The role of childhood experiences on adult functioning and attachment styles
- The experiential affective theory
- The dynamics between of internal and external conflicts
You will discover how to leverage transference and the therapeutic relationship as a means to uncover unconscious emotions and defenses responsible for maintaining suffering.
Detailed explanations will be provided on establishing and articulating clinical goals with clients, along with key considerations for treatment.
To guide your interventions during sessions, an exceptionally effective approach known as the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) will be thoroughly explored. CCRT will help you formulate a dynamic understanding of an individual's interpersonal patterns and the suffering associated.
Case studies will illustrate the process of formulating a CCRT and demonstrate its application. An examination of the connection between unconscious emotions, the resultant anxiety, and the maladaptive defenses employed to manage this anxiety will also be covered.
By the end of this workshop, you will be equipped with a repertoire of theories and techniques to help regulate your clients' anxiety, enrich their emotional wellbeing, and soften the persistent habits contributing to their distress.
