Inter-relational therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationships between individuals and their families or social networks. It aims to help individuals understand and improve their relationships with others, and to address issues such as communication, conflict, and attachment.

Intra-relational therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the individual's internal relationships, such as their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It aims to help individuals understand and change their internal patterns of thinking and behavior, and to improve their emotional well-being.

Emotion-focused therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the emotional aspects of an individual's experience. It aims to help individuals identify and understand their emotions, and to develop coping strategies for managing their emotions.

Somatic therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the body and its physical sensations. It aims to help individuals release physical and emotional tension, and to improve their physical and emotional well-being.
