Relational family therapy
A Slovenian model connecting the systemic view with bodily experience and with the affect transmitted between family members.
What it means
The central idea is that the most painful feelings are transmitted between family members and are often resolved not through words but through regulation within the relationship.
What we do with it in therapy
Part of my training comes from this model. In practice it means the attention isn’t only on what you say, but also on what happens bodily between us.
