Psychotherapy using ISTDP and CBT involves addressing core feelings and negative thought patterns that have often been pushed away by a host of automatic defensive methods either consciously or unconsciously to lower anxiety. Helping people identify, experience and express these emotions and confront negative automatic thoughts to learn more adaptive strategies can yield enormous benefits on mood and our level of social role functioning. In this model, therapist and client work as a team by having meaningful discussions and addressing anxiety and therapeutic relationship issues that may arise in session- to practice these key skills for everyday living.
