Individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which is based on the principles of Psychoanalytic Theory, aims to bring to light how unconscious processes, early childhood experiences, and internal emotional conflicts shape our daily relationships and choices.
The therapeutic relationship, characterized by safety, trust, and respect, provides a space to express previously unvoiced experiences and thoughts.
Individual therapy also serves as an excellent preparation for those interested in joining an analytic group or pursuing therapy through art.
FAQs
What is the Psychodynamic Approach?
The main aim of the psychodynamic approach is to make the unconscious conscious through free association or open dialogue. How a client interacts with the therapist helps uncover and understand patterns seen in their everyday relationships. Childhood experiences often hold the key to many emotional challenges faced in adulthood. This approach is grounded in Freudian psychoanalytic theory, drawing from the works of Winnicott, Klein, Bowlby, Green, Kohut, and Kernberg.
Is it possible to start therapy with a psychotherapist who is a relative or friend?
The therapeutic relationship is distinct from social relationships. Effective therapeutic intervention necessitates a specific methodology, including consistency in setting, time, participation, and wages, without social interactions outside therapy. This ensures the relationship remains professional while giving the client the freedom to share their thoughts and feelings.
