Part 1: Explore key concepts like transference, counter-transference, transitional objects, reverie, containment, projective identification, and more.
We’ll dive into major schools of thought such as Object Relations, Jungian, and Relational Psychodynamics - and trace how the psychodynamic paradigm has evolved over time.
Everything you need to know about the key theories in the Psychodynamic Paradigm in 3 hours.

Part 2: What does transference really look like in session? How does counter-transference shape our work?
We’ll unpack what it means to say “we are the technique,” explore the Jungian shadow, and examine how our own pasts show up in the room.
Learn about how each of these psychodynamic concepts are vital to how we work as therapists.
Part 3: How does the psychodynamic lens fit into your modality?
Watch Ryan and Jess in action as you step into the role of ‘client’ and experience their approach firsthand.
Through real case studies, open discussion, and space to explore lingering questions, see how these concepts can integrate into any therapeutic framework.
In this video, Dr. Jess Erb gives a brief run-down of what you can expect on this Psychodynamic Certificate Course
