In this presentation, our faculty member Dr. Jessica Borushok talks about the case of Sarah, a client with panic disorder with agoraphobia.
In this section, she explains how to introduce the concepts of values and defusion as skills to develop for subsequent exposure work.
Exposure work in panic disorder is guided by client values, while defusion promotes psychological distance to develop curiosity and understanding.
Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from the video:
* Values are the North Star guiding a client’s motivation to go through the therapeutic process.
* Defusion allows the creation of space between symptoms and the client, to get perspective and develop an observational psychological aspect without symptoms.
* One of the goals of defusion is to promote curiosity about experiences rather than fear. Curiosity is the precursor to interoceptive exposure work.
