In What is Psychotherapy? I dive deep with Certified Transactional Analyst, Jo Frasca. This episode will help clients suffering with attachment, interpersonal and complex trauma learn more about how to find a properly trained psychotherapist, what happens in psychotherapy and how it works. This episode is also a wonderful resource for mental health professionals to learn more about therapy and how it works differently to counselling, social work, psychology and coaching.

She works within the relational psychoanalytic frame and is a trained Certified Transactional Analyst. She works with transference and countertransference, family of origin and early attachment concepts.
