We will collaboratively identify your core repetitive pattern and you will frequently refer to this during therapy. You will increasingly become aware when this pattern is activated in your relationships and be able to test out experiencing things differently, as well as testing out new ways of behaving and being in your relationships.

DIT is underpinned by psychodynamic theories, which see relationships as the core of all psychological functioning and suffering. Hence, when a person is able to deal with a relationship problem more effectively, his or her psychological symptoms often improve.

Based on psychodynamic principles, DIT sees relationships as central to psychological well-being. By improving how you navigate relationships, your symptoms and emotional distress often lessen.

DIT is most effective for people who are curious about their feelings, behaviours, and relationships, and how these relate to their psychological difficulties. The insights gained can be deeply moving and eye-opening, providing a greater sense of self-understanding and choice.

Developed by combining psychodynamic theory with empirical evidence, DIT is scientifically proven and is recognised as an effective therapy model within NHS psychotherapy services.
