Summary:

In this sixth and final session, Dr. Diana Fosha demonstrates accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) with a 20-year-old self-identified Middle Eastern female client presenting with anxiety- and depression-related concerns. The therapist and client discuss their reactions to therapy ending. Dr. Fosha provides an agenda for their session, including reflections on the work so far, looking forward to the client's future work, and processing the "goodbye." They discuss the client's excitement and apprehensions ahead of beginning to work with a new therapist. The client notes difficulties in being able to "hold both" her growth in therapy and ways in which she is continuing to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. The therapist helps the client explore ways of holding both and guides her through a final diaphragmatic breathing exercise to help her manage anxiety. They further discuss the client's memories of the therapy. The therapist challenges the client's belief that she is the only member of her family still struggling to recover from trauma. As the session ends, the therapist shares about her research to help the client cultivate self-compassion and kindness. They finish processing the end of therapy and Dr. Fosha gives the client two gifts, including a book, to take with her. They exchange expressions of appreciation and say goodbye
