Fascinating praxis experiences and immersive exercices help you interact with emotional recovery, relieve fear and stress, and find your true self. Spencer endured social anxiety to the point it became debilitating. This patient went with psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel in need of anxiety treatment, but in fact he was not physically depressed. Actually, Jacobs Hendel discovered that he and others had undergone abuse in their childhood that forced them to set up psychological barriers that disguised them as depressive symptoms. Jacobs Hendel led them to increasingly productive lives of pleasure and satisfaction with an empathetic and active clinical approach focused on the current research on the restorative ability of our emotions. While traditional counseling helps patients to speak about past experiences which may cause stress and depression, advanced experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), the approach used by Jacobs Hendel and invented by Diana Fosha, PhD, allows one to recognise the defenses and inhibitory feelings (shame, remorse, and anxiety) that obstruct core emotions (anger, disappointment, terror, indignation, happiness, excision). Experiencing core emotions completely allows one to reach an open-hearted environment in which we become relaxed, interested, connected, caring, optimistic, brave, and transparent. Jacobs Hendel includes navigational resources, exercises in body and mind, candid personal observations, and insightful perspectives gleaned from the extraordinary breakthroughs of her clients. She teaches us how to work the Change Triangle in our daily lives and map a fundamentally intimate, effective and optimistic path to well-being and emotional balance.
