Therapeutic Approach: ISTDP

Reihan practices Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)—a psychodynamic approach focused on uncovering and releasing repressed emotions rooted in early relational trauma or unresolved attachment wounds. ISTDP helps clients break unconscious emotional patterns that contribute to psychological distress and physical symptoms.

This therapy is “intensive” because it works to help clients access deep emotional truths, “short-term” because it aims for rapid, effective results, and “dynamic” because it engages with unconscious processes, including transference and emotional defenses.

Whether you are facing pre- or post-migration stress, Reihan’s approach is grounded in deep respect for your unique life story and cultural experience.

🌍 Consultation Options

Sessions are available both in-person in Berlin and online for Farsi-speaking individuals living abroad. Sessions are offered in Farsi and English, and typically last 60 or 90 minutes, occurring biweekly or monthly, depending on individual needs.

🩺 Who Benefits from ISTDP?

ISTDP is a well-researched, evidence-based therapy that has shown success in addressing a wide range of emotional disorders and medically unexplained physical symptoms, such as:

• Headaches

• Shortness of breath

• Digestive issues

• Sudden fatigue

These symptoms often stem from repressed emotions that are triggered by stressful or unresolved situations. In psychiatric terms, these may be referred to as somatoform disorders (as classified in the DSM-IV-TR).
