psychoanalytic psychotherapy
I hold a particular interest in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy are for those who feel caught in recurrent psychological problems that impede their potential to experience happiness with their partners, families and friends, as well as success and fulfillment in their work and the normal tasks of everyday life. Anxieties, inhibitions and depressions are frequently signs of inner conflicts. These lead to difficulties in relationships and, when untreated, can have a considerable impact on personal and professional choices. The roots of these problems often go deeper than normal awareness can reach, which is why they prove to be irresolvable without psychoanalysis.
It is with the help of an expert psychotherapist that the patient can gain new insight into the unconscious parts of these disturbances. Talking with a therapist in a safe atmosphere will lead a patient to become increasingly aware of parts of their previously unknown inner world (thoughts, feelings, memories and dreams), thus giving relief from psychic pain, promoting personality development and providing a self-awareness that will strengthen the patient’s confidence to pursue their goals in life. These positive effects of psychoanalytic psychotherapy will last and lead to further growth long after the therapy has been terminated.
