Dr. Paulus and Dr. Jarvinen discuss some reasons why someone might not be getting better in therapy.
They discuss things like addressing psychological causes driving symptoms, trauma, and intervening at the optimal level of anxiety.
They also discuss how different psychological presentations necessitate different kinds of interventions: one patient may need support bringing down anxiety, another might need help turning angry feelings off of themselves and towards someone else who hurt them, and someone else may need help seeing how they avoid emotional closeness and detach from their feelings as a way to distance from others.
Don't forget to hang out for the breathwork at the end of the episode.
