Summary:

In this fifth of six sessions, 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 session begins with the therapist and client discussing their reactions to the upcoming termination, and what it will feel like after they finish the final two sessions. Dr. Fosha helps the client explore her perceptions of change across the first four sessions and ways the client can continue to grow through future therapy. They also explore the client's feelings of shame toward her anxiety. The therapist offers several ways of reframing the client's anxiety and her unique response to trauma, while sharing her admiration and appreciation for the client's ability to form intimate relationships. Toward the end of the session, the client asks for strategies to manage her anxiety moment-to-moment, and Dr. Fosha draws on mindfulness-based practices to discuss self-compassion and present-moment awareness. While ending the session, the therapist self-discloses about her own work around present-moment awareness and shares that she has also been in therapy at different times in her life. The session ends with a guided breathing exercise
