Ep 17. Psychodynamic therapy & ISTDP: The full conversation with Johannes Kieding [extended episode]

This is my full conversation with Johannes Kieding - an experienced ISTDP therapist, teacher, and trainer. We discuss psychodynamic therapy and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based therapy approach developed by Dr Habib Davanloo. We discuss the psychodynamic focus on emotions, the conflicts inherent in human life, and how the unconscious might play a part in all of this. Johannes explains core principles of ISTDP such as the Triangle of Conflict, what to expect in ISTDP therapy, and how ISTDP differs from other therapeutic models like CBT. We also discuss emotional development, complex mixed feelings, new ways of thinking about anxiety, and practical insights for parents on emotional management and attachment trauma. This one is an enriching discussion on a powerful therapeutic approach, all in the one conversation. You can also find parts of this conversion in 10-minute clips on episodes 18, 19, and 20 of the 10 Minute Mood Podcast.
