About the Workshop

“Psychodynamic Therapy for Dummies: Attachment-Based ISTDP” is a relaxed, interactive introduction to one of the most powerful yet misunderstood forms of therapy.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What makes ISTDP “intensive” — and how it differs from traditional psychodynamic therapy
  • How attachment theory informs the ISTDP model
  • How anxiety and defense mechanisms operate in the therapeutic relationship
  • How to recognize “unlocking the unconscious” moments in practice
  • Case examples and video demonstrations (where possible)

Who It’s For:
Therapists, trainees, mental health professionals and anyone curious about understanding emotions, attachment, and transformation through a psychodynamic lens.

No prior experience with ISTDP required — just curiosity!
