In this video I explore the experiential therapy movement and the whole new umbrella of therapies it has created, like IFS, AEDP, emotion-focused therapy, ISTDP, coherence therapy, somatic therapies, among others. Because this is a new therapy camp, it is not easy to find information about how it came to be, and what makes experiential therapies unique. So in this video I will outline the four shared components all experiential therapies share, which are: 1) an aim to resolve the issue at its root rather than simply managing its symptoms 2) a use of mindfulness for self exploration (versus simply self-regulation) 3) a sensitivity to safety 4) a use of therapeutic focus, versus simply using the session for storytelling or general support.
