What is Psychodynamic Therapy?

Psychodynamic or Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a form of clinical practice based on the principles and theories of psychoanalysis. The focus of these theories is to increase an understanding of the self and to have greater insight into the emotions and conflicts beneath the symptoms that are causing difficulty in your life. Psychodynamic therapists work with the unconscious via free association, dream work, and the unique relationship that forms with you, which often relates to what you encounter in your day-to-day life. Rather than focusing on tools and skills, working in this way allows you to get to the basis of what is happening. For this reason, psychodynamic has shown greater efficacy that has long lasting effects instead of a temporary panacea. 

 Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is an empowering way for us to grow our minds and challenge what we believe in and why we believe it.
