Coherence Therapy / Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy
Coherence Therapy / Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy was Developed by: Bruce Ecker and Laurel Hulley
Overview of Coherence Therapy: “Coherence Therapy, formerly known as Depth Oriented Brief Therapy, is a system of psychotherapy that allows therapists to consistently foster deep shifts, dispelling clients’ symptoms at their emotional roots often in a small number of sessions. The source of nearly every problem or symptom that brings people to therapy proves to be a deeply held, unrecognized emotional truth. Coherence therapy is a set of methods and concepts that enable a therapist to be beautifully consistent and effective in bringing about profound shifts at the hidden core maintaining a specific symptom or problem. Coherence therapy is designed for creating lasting, transformational change at the heart of the problem far more directly, and in far fewer sessions, than in conventional depth-oriented psychotherapies. From the first session the client is guided to use native capacities for finding and dissolving symptom-generating emotional realities that were formed earlier in life, typically in childhood. The methodology is often surprisingly swift. The therapist's empathic attunement is a crucial catalyst of the process. A wide range of symptoms can be dispelled along with the less visible, lifelong emotional wounds associated with them." ~ Excerpt from Coherence Therapy
“Dominating our field is the assumption that for psychotherapy to be effective in a few sessions, depth must be sacrificed. Clinicians striving for brevity usually steer clear of clients' compelling, unconscious, lifelong themes. Challenging this view, Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy (DOBT) demonstrates that focused, rapidly effective in-depth therapy with individuals, couples and families turns out to be a very real option.” --excerpt from Therapeutic Resource
