What is psychodynamic analysis?
Psychodynamic analysis is a type of therapy where we explore unconscious thoughts, feelings and past experiences to uncover what’s driving current behaviour. Based on Freudian theory this looks at how unresolved conflicts from childhood or other significant life events are shaping emotional struggles and relationships. Through self-reflection and talking we gain insight into our inner world and long-term emotional growth and healing.
Reflection and integration of insights gained through this approach may require time to integrate into current functioning, therefore pacing of sessions can be quite individualized. While most forms of short-term therapy (6-20 sessions) will focus on current conditions, psychodynamic approaches can be approached in segments over time.
