Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy: Understanding the Heart of Your Story

At Marsh Psychotherapy, our application of Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT) delves deeply into the ways you interact and relate to others, including the therapist.

This approach is not just about discussing symptoms or past events; it’s about understanding how your current interpersonal style functions and how it’s linked to challenges you face in your relationships.

  • Exploring Reactions and Interactions: For example, if you show a strong emotional reaction, like anger, during therapy sessions, we explore this response in depth. Our therapists are trained to gently probe into what these reactions might signify, asking about how you interpreted the conversation and your past experiences that might influence your present response.

  • Understanding Projection and Interpretation: A key aspect of PIT is identifying how you might project past experiences or fears onto current interactions. If discussing certain topics, like finances, elicits a strong reaction, we consider the possibility that this response is influenced by past judgments or misconceptions. This realization can be pivotal in understanding and modifying your interpersonal dynamics.

  • Linking Therapy to Real Life: The way you interact with your therapist can offer valuable insights into how you relate to others in your life. By identifying patterns within the therapeutic setting, we can help you understand and address similar patterns outside of therapy, improving your relationships and overall well-being.

  • Integrating the Creative Arts: Unique to our practice, we blend PIT with creative arts therapies, providing a holistic approach to your healing. This integration allows for a deeper exploration of emotions and thoughts, often reaching areas that traditional talk therapy might not access.

Do I want Creative Arts Therapy as part of my treatment?

Creative Arts Therapy at Marsh Psychotherapy is an inclusive and innovative approach, ideal for anyone looking to explore their emotions through creative expression.

This form of therapy, encompassing art, drama, and dance, offers several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Self-Expression: Provides an alternative, often more intuitive, way to express feelings and thoughts.
  • Emotional Release: The creative process can be cathartic, helping you release and manage emotions effectively.
  • Improved Self-Awareness and Insight: Engaging in creative activities often leads to new personal insights and deeper understanding.
  • Stress Reduction: Artistic expression can be a relaxing and meditative experience, contributing to overall mental well-being.
  • Accessibility for All: It’s suitable for everyone, regardless of artistic ability or experience.

Whether you’re artistically inclined or new to creative expression, Creative Arts Therapy can offer a refreshing and insightful path to explore your emotional world. While you don’t have to make use of the creative arts, it’s an option available in every treatment.
