Note : consider discussing things with your therapist first. This page is meant to raise awareness about unconscious emotional patterns, to motivate, and guide people taking the first steps towards therapy. It doesn’t fully replace doing the work itself in an actual therapy process. Also: ISTDP is not a silver bullet or panacea. Similar forms of therapy are AEDP and AFT. Please also consider your privacy when using comments, DM, likes, and follows: feel free to e-mail me your questions instead (I can’t always answer though).
Credits for all of my content eventually belongs to my mentor Dr. Allan Abbass and Dr. Joel Town, who taught me the theory and principles of ISTDP, and how to practice it.

Special thanks to my other mentor Josette ten Have-de Labije, and Kees Cornelissen who originally introduced me to ISTDP and taught me on ISTDP together with José Verpoort and Joy Oonk.
