- You want to focus more on behavior change, like in OCD or phobias, CBT might be better.
- Your struggles are deeply rooted in trauma, and you need trauma-specific approaches (like EMDR or prolonged exposure).
- You’re dealing with severe psychosis or dissociation, though IPT can be used adjunctively, it’s not the primary treatment here.
- You prefer exploring unconscious processes, dreams, or family dynamics in depth (a more psychodynamic approach might suit you better).
