Take-aways for the attendees:
Dr. Frisch has a unique approach that captures the essence of the patient in the first session. She teaches her direct style of intervention that encapsulates dynamics in a forthright way allowing patients to grasp the essence of their obvious problematic defensive styles. She offers a mind/body somatic approach critical to treating today’s patient who more and more seeks out holistic approaches. She has practiced Orgonomy (Reich’s biophysical approach) for over 30 years and certifies Orgonomists. She illustrates a contactful approach, both fierce and quiet. Therapy gets off to a dynamic start rather than meandering down the tired trail of storytelling. For further in-depth study of her method, she will suggest reading her book: “Whole Therapist, Whole Patient: Integrating Reich, Masterson and Jung in Modern Psychotherapy”.
