Summary:

Using a personality-guided relational psychotherapy approach, Jeffrey J. Magnavita works with a female client in her late teens experiencing major depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder resulting from child abuse and ongoing instability and chaos in her life. In conjunction with journal writing, meditation, and other mindfulness practices, Magnavita helps the client work through her chronic state of heightened stress and hyperarousal through relaxation techniques and emotional restructuring. He uses the Subjective Units of Distress Scale to gauge her level of anxiety and to avoid flooding and activating the client's freeze response. Magnavita encourages the client to explore her feelings of anger and sadness to restructure maladaptive impulses to intellectualize and disconnect from her emotions
