Why ISTDP is the Most Effective Form of Psychotherapy | RMH Segments

In this Real Mental Health podcast segment, Dr. Michael Kanell and Dr. Mike Mah dive into the transformative power of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). They discuss why ISTDP is one of the most effective therapeutic approaches for identifying hidden emotional patterns, understanding the root causes of depression, and breaking free from self-defeating cycles.

Dr. Kanell shares his personal "aha" moment during psychiatry training, realizing ISTDP provided the clearest and most structured way to truly help patients. They also explore the intensity of this therapy—why change is difficult but necessary, and how growth often comes with discomfort. If you've ever felt stuck or wondered how therapy can create deep, lasting change, this conversation is for you.
