Summary:

In this fourth of six sessions, Dr. Diana Fosha demonstrates accelerated experiential dynamic psychothearpy (AEDP) with a 20-year-old self-identified Middle Eastern female client presenting with anxiety- and depression-related concerns. The session begins with Dr. Fosha asking the client how she wanted to begin, and they proceeded to discuss the client's experience in her mindfulness class and her attempt to meet the therapist's challenge from the previous session. They further explore the role of the client's "inner critic" and its connections to her family's history and her father's abuse. The therapist provides psychoeducation about grief and guides the client in continuing to process her grief related to her family's experiences. They also discuss the client's prior experiences in therapy. The therapist helps the client identify relational patterns within her family, focusing on triangulated dynamics between the client, her mother, and one of her older sisters. Dr. Fosha introduces the notion of a "sandbox of the mind," and encourages the client to explore possibilities for what she would want to express to her mother and sister. The client expresses difficulties in trying to imagine this conversation, and Dr. Fosha says that she will look for a book that the client can share with her family to help them understand her struggles. As the session ends, the therapist notes the limitations of six sessions to fully address the client's issues and adds that part of the final two sessions will involve preparing the client to continue their work after termination
