ISTDP for Patients with Treatment Resistance PPS

ISTDP aims to help patients explore and process unconscious emotions, particularly those linked to past trauma or unresolved conflicts, that may be contributing to their physical symptoms. Patients are guided to identify and express repressed feelings such as anger, grief, or fear. The therapist actively engages the patient in a focused and intensive manner, helping them to recognize emotional defenses, break through resistance, and experience these emotions directly in the therapeutic setting.
