Description

In this episode, we explore the innovative work of Dr. Paul L. Wachtel, a leading psychologist known for his integrative approach to psychotherapy. Dr. Wachtel challenges single-framework therapy models, advocating for a flexible approach that draws from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and other modalities. We discuss his concept of the "disavowed self"—the parts of oneself that are unconsciously denied—and how therapists can help clients reclaim these aspects to foster growth.

We also dive into how attachment theory and integrative methods can be used to treat anxiety, phobias, and interpersonal issues, providing practical insights for both therapists and those interested in understanding human behavior more deeply. Join us for an engaging conversation on advancing therapeutic practices.
