101. How To "Deepen" the Treatment

Let's get personal. In the therapy world, sometimes we think that we want a CBT therapist, a psychodynamic therapist, a DBT therapist, or whatever other type of therapist when ultimately, we may not necessarily know what any of that means or if it's what we really need. We want to be able to "fit" into a box and have a specific type of therapy that we can lean into. In reality, it's not black and white at all and therapy most certainly doesn't fit into boxes. I want to preface this entire episode with the fact this is me reflecting on my own personal and professional experience. So disagree away with me.  Tweetable Quotes "Just because somebody says this is evidence-based, it is a lot more complicated than that." - Rachelle Heinemann "As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, we do not shy away from anything uncomfortable. And that is what separates this from the rest." - Rachelle Heinemann "It's not like you can go for a brain imaging test, and go in and say, 'Oh, yes, I do have an eating disorder' or 'yes, I do have general anxiety.' It doesn't work that way." - Rachelle Heinemann "It requires knowing the theory behind how the human mind works, the development of psychology, and all of that stuff in order to integrate that into a therapy session that might almost look identical to somebody who hasn't had the training but just sort of tries to wing it." - Rachelle Heinemann LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.
