Interpersonal Therapy
Many people are struggling emotionally because of difficulties in interpersonal relationships with other people. They may have painful interaction patterns they repeat over and over again with the important people in their lives. In interpersonal therapy the goal is to develop a safe and trusting relationship between you and the therapist. Within the context of this relationship you can safely explore and discover issues that are troubling you and try out new approaches to better address these challenges. For example, if you are stuck in an unhealthy interaction pattern with someone in your life, within the safety of the relationship with your therapist, you can try out new and healthier interactions. As you experience success with your therapist, you can then try out these new ways of relating with other people. Improvements in the relationships with important people in your life then lead to improvement of symptoms of emotional distress.
