Summary:

"In this video, Dr. Paul L. Hewitt demonstrates a dynamic relational therapy approach with a female graduate student whose parents immigrated to the United States from Mexico. The client presents with concerns related to anxiety and perfectionism. The therapist helps the client explore the psychodynamic and relational underpinnings of her issues, including her relationships with her parents and her brother. They also explore the client's experiences in graduate school, as well as the recent buildup of responsibilities and stress that has come with motherhood. Dr. Hewitt demonstrates the collaborative approach characteristic of dynamic relational therapy in helping the client gradually build an understanding (clinical formulation) of her perfectionistic behavior as a strategy to get her needs met. The therapist and client also explore the client's cyclical relational pattern, including how it manifests during the course of the therapy session. Throughout the session, Dr. Hewitt helps the client recognize the importance of paying closer attention to her internal emotional experience, and the value of sharing that experience with others"
