Types of therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is rooted in psychoanalytic theory and focuses on understanding how unconscious thoughts, early experiences, and relational patterns influence current emotions and behaviors. Developed as a more accessible alternative to traditional psychoanalysis, it aims to help clients gain insight into the root causes of psychological distress and foster lasting personal growth.
How This Therapy Works
Therapy sessions involve open dialogue, where clients are encouraged to freely explore thoughts, feelings, memories, and dreams. Key techniques include exploring recurring patterns, examining the impact of early relationships, and working with transference-the redirection of feelings from significant past figures onto the therapist.
The therapeutic relationship itself is central, providing a safe space for clients to understand and change longstanding interpersonal dynamics. Sessions can be short-term or long-term, tailored to individual needs.
Is It Right for Me?
Psychodynamic therapy is especially helpful for individuals seeking deep self-understanding, those with longstanding emotional struggles, or those experiencing complex issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties.
It’s suitable for people interested in exploring the underlying causes of their distress, rather than just addressing symptoms. If you’re unsure, a therapist can help you decide if this approach aligns with your goals.
