Tobias Nordqvist is a great teacher and a very modest and inspiring person. His model of denial gives us (ISTDP practitioners) an additional tool to work on syntonic defenses by dealing with the inner denial that underlies them. The lecture was especially helpful for me in jotting down techniques to internalize through conscious practice.

I really like the training! I love to listen to Mrs. Anna Ciężkowska. She is very specific and I think she has a really unique way to convey difficult content in an understandable way.

The training courses conducted by the Polish Institute of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy are very substantive.

I have been a psychotherapist for years and work in the ISTDP trend. I am glad that I could take part in the training organized by the Polish Institute of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy. The lecturers convey a lot of knowledge that I will use during therapy with my patients.

I have very much enjoyed several training videos from Sentio. I recently watched “the neurobiology of guilt and its psychotherapeutic aspects” and was very inspired by it. I find it meaningful to deepen my theoretical knowledge, partly from interest but also as a help in my clinical practice. Here I believe the training videos fill a gap within the community of ISTDP. In Monicas presentation, I especially enjoyed how she described the function of guilt and shame. It’s wonderful how she is able to integrate different perspectives, the neurobiology, the theoretical and the clinical perspective with examples from different contexts. Sometimes I had difficulties following the thread/shifts to different topics within the presentation, but that was compensated by Monicas ability to reach through the screen.
