Summary:

In this third 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 Dr. Fosha checking in on the client's current emotional state. They explore the client's elevated anxiety in recent days. The therapist introduces and guides the client through a diaphragmatic breathing exercise to help her manage her anxiety. They explore the client's reactions to the previous session and disappointment in her own lack of progress in therapy so far. The therapist suggests that the previous session likely retraumatized the client, and she apologizes for her role in letting the client leave with so many raw and unprocessed emotions. The therapist then offers the client insight into her cycles of anxiety, suggesting that when she was growing up, the client did not have models for how to manage complex emotions. Near the end of session, the client voices feelings of motivation, hopefulness, relief, and decreased anxiety that emerged from feeling like she can be more compassionate toward herself. The session ends with Dr. Fosha giving the client a challenge for the upcoming weeks
