Technique
Relational work
Examining and reshaping current relationship patterns in session.
Where it lives
Therapies that use it
Interpersonal Psychotherapy Treats symptoms by working the relationships around them — grief, role changes, disputes, and isolation. Emotionally Focused Therapy (Couples) Reads couple distress through attachment needs, breaking the negative cycle and rebuilding a secure bond. Mentalization-Based Therapy Strengthens the ability to read your own and others’ minds, especially when emotions run high. Transference-Focused Psychotherapy Uses the live therapy relationship to surface and integrate split-apart images of self and other. Transactional Analysis Maps how we speak from Parent, Adult, and Child — and the repeated "games" that shape our relationships.
