Starting my ISTDP training on 18th of january and together with your clips, Patricia, i'm really looking forward to this new journey in my career. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Welcome. As I always tell my trainees at this start of their journey, "I have a promise and a warning - this training will change your life". Hope you have a wonderful experience.
Patricia. Thank you again for a wonderful video. I'm wondering at some point if you would consider a video for working w/ feelings towards a brief encounter with a stranger If others may want something similar. I know it would be of use to me in my practice. Obviously the interpersonal exchange may give us data about interpersonal patterns and relations w/ primary figures in one's life. Maybe a way of working the C in the triangle (TCP) rather than T/P w/ someone whom might be experiencing rage towards someone whom cut them off in traffic and then just walked in your office for a session venting about it. Perhaps a way to turn that discharge into opportunity to access deeper feeling. Perhaps a client that is having conscious affect towards a person whom they may not have full mixed feeling towards (like we might have with a mother, sibling, friend). Say like a co-worker or perhaps an encounter w/ a customer service representative. Using that stranger to work the C as a portal to unconscious rage then portrait = unlocking and thus accessing the P for past images/primary objects to work with. For example: Pt (whom is known to have trouble w/ anger in interpersonal relations and a history of Phys abuse by male primary figure) walks in office for session slamming their coat on chair saying: P: I can't believe that a** cut me off the road! T: What happened? P: This guy cut me off just down the road before I got here (Breathing heavily, looking at you intensely, tensed up muscle tone)f T: (Observes the patient clenching fists, clenching jaw when not talking, restless in his seat) What do you notice feeling right now? P: I'm pissed off! T: Yes, but what feeling inside are you experiencing towards this person for cutting you off? P: I'm angry at this guy..... T: (Interrupts PT) Okay you are angry, where do you notice this anger inside, right now as you experience it? P: I feel like I'm going to explode T: Where do you notice the anger, specifically in your body, where is it wanting to (Observes fists clenching again bouncing them off legs)... P: I feel it here (Points to chest) T: What do you notice there? P: Like its like heat wanting to come out of me T: And where does it want to go? P: Its going like it wants to go up and out of my head Thank you for the possible consideration, Bo :)
Of course. These are great examples and almost always lead to a breakthrough with link to the P. The driver who kept "riding up my rear" or the paparazzi photographer (in two specific clinical examples) were explored and led to a breakthrough in which the patient could clearly see who the "stranger" represented in their unconscious. There are no coincidences!
Another fantastic video. I do wonder about scenarios where the hidden impulse isn't rage or murderous intent - anger is often the one explored in this approach, but presumably these can be a variety of impulses e.g. sexual?
Of course. I just did a 2 part webinar on recognizing and working with sexual impulses. Anger is reactive. We long or love. Being rejected or neglected evokes painful feelings and reactive rage toward the loved one. Our aim to get to all the mixed feelings that are triggering anxiety and symptoms.
I study organisations and you use vocabulary that we use in our papers :))) it is interesting… your video is true and it is a very difficult thing . I am a writer working only on things that matter to me , and in my choices of research topics I find my unconscious mind
I often suggested to my patients that Bruce Lee's body language is a baseline for anger subconsciously manifesting itself, especially the movie "Fist's of Fury" I believe there was also kicking in that example.
Not sure I understand the analogy. Of course, in ISTDP we do not encourage taking action on anger. Rather, to feel it fully in the body without doing anything to get rid of it - either repressing it or acting it out.
There's one patient in particular, for the sake of privacy I'll call him Richard. I'm actually writing a dissertation on him as we speak. Fascinating case study. I don't know where to start with the acronyms with that guy.
@@patriciacoughlinphd1852 like if i play it on my mobile speaker it's low , if i use earphone it's good , the Vedio has a lot to offer and it's valuable, before uploading a vedio volume has to be amplified by any software, thankyou so much for your time effort and ur valuable vedios 😊😊😊

Brief but very concise. Thank you.
My pleasure.

@@liftaxdropchops8554 Unprofessional Dr. DropChops. You'll be talking to my legal team.
Thoughts on empty chair work for clients that are showing these mannerisms?
I'm not quite sure what you mean. I have not found the need to employ the empty chair technique in any of my cases.
Volume too low pls
Good on my end. Check you audio settings.

@@tousifk3138 Thanks for your feedback. I'll do my best to have the volume up - maybe even use a mic!
