Seth Dellinger and I delve into a conversation about the Feldenkrais Method and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) - at least the ways in which we each practice these approaches with clients. Seth and I explore parallels and intersections in how we work, highlighting shared principles in addressing patterns of movement (physical, relational, and emotional) and self-image. We talk about how each practice works to open up possibilities for movement vs. remaining ‘stuck’, and enhance patient agency both at a fine-grain level of detail and more holistically at a system level.
