This is my full conversation with Johannes Kieding - an experienced ISTDP therapist, teacher, and trainer. We discuss psychodynamic therapy and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based therapy approach developed by Dr Habib Davanloo. We discuss the psychodynamic focus on emotions, the conflicts inherent in human life, and how the unconscious might play a part in all of this. Johannes explains core principles of ISTDP such as the Triangle of Conflict, what to expect in ISTDP therapy, and how ISTDP differs from other therapeutic models like CBT. We also discuss emotional development, complex mixed feelings, new ways of thinking about anxiety, and practical insights for parents on emotional management and attachment trauma. This one is an enriching discussion on a powerful therapeutic approach, all in the one conversation. You can also find parts of this conversion in 10-minute clips on episodes 18, 19, and 20 of the 10 Minute Mood Podcast.

This episode continues from Episode 15 and the theme of healthy vs. unhealthy relationships to exercise. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr Veena Sothieson provides a practical roadmap to assess and improve your exercise mindset - so that exercise becomes about supporting your values and your greater wellbeing, and not something restrictive. Veena steps through some questions you can ask yourself, some concrete ways to monitor how you are currently relating to exercise, and simple strategies to shift towards healthier habits and attitudes when it comes to all things exercise, movement, and body.

In this episode, clinical psychologists Aspasia and Veena discuss the nuances of exercise and wellbeing. habits. Rather than the common misconception that all exercise is universally good for us, this conversation highlights a distinction between approaches to exercise which may become harmful to our wellbeing, bodies, and/or relationships (e.g., rigid, guilt-driven, or weight-loss-motivated exercise mindsets), and a healthier relationship to exercise which operates in service of our values and overall wellbeing (e.g., building a meaningful, flexible, and enjoyable relationship with physical activity that emphasises the importance of awareness, variety, and listening to the cues of our body).

Practical advice for shifting towards healthier exercise attitudes and behaviours is also offered in the next episode of this podcast - Episode 16. Or you can listen to the full unabridged 30-minute conversation in one place on our website: sydneycitypsychology.com.au
