As a consequence, they tend to over\u2010rely on others and may lose control over their emotions. Treating these persons can gain benefits from including body\u2010focused techniques as they can promote a) awareness of internal states, b) better emotion regulation, c) the capacity to consider their negative ideas about themselves as not necessarily true, and d) gain power of and agency. We will describe the therapist used body\u2010focused techniques in the context of Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy when treating Lia, a 40\u2010year\u2010old woman suffering from DPD who also suffered from generalized anxiety disorder and had difficulties in making autonomous choices. She had a romantic relationship with a man she described as distant and judgmental so she felt lonely and not entitled to express her discomfort or capable to break up. The therapist used body\u2010focused techniques, together with behavioural exposure, mindfulness and guided imagery, to let Lia be more aware of her thoughts and feelings, and then to regulate affects and realize she had previously capacities. At therapy termination anxiety diminished and she could break up with the partner and start a new one where she felt free to express herself. We suggest how bodily\u2010focused techniques can be used to enhance therapy effectiveness in DPD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.23680","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]],"date-time":"2024-03-21T06:59:05Z","timestamp":1711004345000},"page":"1568-1581","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Working through the body in metacognitive interpersonal therapy to change relational patterns in dependent personality disorder: The case of Lia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Tiziana","family":"Passarella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Terapia Metacognitiva Intepersonale Roma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vittoria","family":"Galasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Terapia Metacognitiva Intepersonale Roma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9289-8756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Dimaggio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Terapia Metacognitiva Intepersonale Roma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorder","author":"Beck A.
