The Psychodynamic Approach

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach rooted in the  principles of psychoanalytic theory. It emphasizes the impact of  unconscious processes on human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The  goal of this therapy is to explore the underlying factors that  contribute to a person's psychological challenges, including unresolved  conflicts, early life experiences, and unconscious motivations. In  collaboration, the therapist and client work together to bring these  unconscious elements into awareness, facilitating insight and  self-understanding. Through techniques like free association, dream  analysis, and interpretation, psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to  uncover and address the root causes of distress, ultimately enabling  individuals to achieve lasting change and personal growth.
