From the episode description:
Three Psychodynamic Approaches to Psychotherapy What does psychodynamic therapy actually look like in the room? Inspired by the APA’s Three Approaches to Psychotherapy, this video offers a public-facing demonstration of three psychodynamic traditions in action:
• Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy
• Jungian Analysis
• PsychoanalysisRather than explaining these approaches in theory, this video shows how each therapist listens, responds, and works with meaning, relationship, and inner life as it unfolds in real time. This project was created with accessibility in mind. Too often, psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis are hidden behind paywalls, dense language, or misconceptions about being outdated or inaccessible. My goal is to make these approaches visible, understandable, and freely available to students, clinicians, and anyone curious about depth-oriented therapy. In a field where this kind of material is often locked behind expensive trainings or subscriptions, it’s genuinely exciting to be able to offer nearly five hours of high quality content completely free. Psychodynamic therapy has shaped the foundations of psychotherapy as we know it. This video is a small effort to give it its rightful due, while showing that it remains alive, relational, and deeply human. Whether you’re new to therapy, considering training, or simply curious about how different therapists think and work, I hope this offers a clear window into psychodynamic practice.

What does it mean to live your life as someone else? In this two-part interview, host Patricia Martin talks with the infamous Jerry Gogosian—real name Hilde Helphenstein—about the hidden psychological costs of her seven-year experiment living as her persona and how she clawed her identity back.
