Mental health providers confront emotional suffering every day, yet
working with emotion is rarely explicitly taught in clinical graduate
programs. There is evidence that emotional experience in therapy
relates to therapy outcome across multiple diagnoses. This research
has given rise to strategies that address the core maladaptive
processes that cause distress and dysfunction, rather than specific
diagnoses. This book presents principles and methods for working with
emotion in psychotherapy to target the internal mechanisms that
underlie anxiety, depression, and other common clinical disorders.
Chapters in this volume focus on methods that help clients with all
types of disorders to “arrive at,” or fully experience, their
painful maladaptive emotions, and then “leave” these emotions by
accessing new, adaptive emotions. These methods include helping
clients sit with painful feelings, access bodily felt experience,
identify unmet needs, and articulate the meaning of an emotion.
Excerpts of moment-to-moment clinical dialogue demonstrate techniques
such as memory reconsolidation, providing corrective emotional
experiences, chair work, and imaginal reentry to past situations.
