In this episode of "How I Therapist," we engage in a deep conversation with Amanda Adili, a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. Amanda shares her diverse training in various therapeutic modalities, including sex therapy, EMDR, and somatic experiencing, and discusses her recent completion of a year-long training in family constellations. This model of therapy focuses on ancestral healing and reveals hidden family dynamics, which Amanda describes as a powerful experience that has significantly influenced her practice. She emphasizes the importance of being present and trusting one's instincts during therapy sessions, drawing connections between her various training experiences and her personal journey of healing.
