Inter family systems therapy. It seems to be about defining various 'parts' of your psyche that do work, like dissociate, get angry, defend against feeling helplessness, etc. Id have called them 'protective mechanisms' before trying this therapy.
The therapist has you focus on the part in question and ask it to tell its story.
Eventually the defensive parts may let up enough to let you get at 'exiles' which are parts that carry repressed feelings from traumatic experiences.
So far it seems like a different spin on what Ive already done for years, but the focused association is new. and its really hard to do for me =(
