WHAT DOES PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY LOOK LIKE?
Psychodynamic therapy is an in-depth form of talk therapy
You will meet with your therapist weekly to a few times each week. Session typically lasts for around 45 minutes and you will continue to see your therapist for several months. Therapist provides a personal space for support and understanding for problems and difficulties that you would like to work on and improve. It begins with establishing a strong connection and alliance which provides the frame for the work to take place. We discuss current approaches to life stressors, learn new coping skills, and attempt to achieve better insight into recurring problems. Topics discussed in therapy can be just about anything. We look at barriers to joy and connection and learn to engage differently and more effectively
Clients are encouraged to share their conflicts, fears, challenges, pain, needs and wants. Therapist will identify and understand life situation and patterns in thinking and behavior, achieve insight and empathy, and work towards change.

PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY INVOLVES THREE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES:
Uncovering the subconscious
Your therapist will provides a space and an atmosphere of mutual support and challenge to help you explore your live, both internal and external. Together, you will dive deep into your thoughts, emotions, desires, and fears, including current struggles, past events, and childhood memories. This process of self-examination and personal discovery will offer valuable insight and provide a new perspective.
Identifying the patterns
Getting to know yourself will then allow you to make connections and spot patterns accordingly.
This new sense of awareness can help you notice how your experiences might have shaped you and continue to affect you today. For example, you might realize that having a very controlling parent figure could relate to your issues with authority.
Perhaps you have developed unhelpful defense mechanisms out of fear or to avoid pain. Recognizing this truth can drive you to shift recurring behaviors that are not serving you.
Finding Relief
Psychodynamic therapy equips you with the knowledge to solve inner conflicts, work through repressed emotions, and find relief. Your therapist will teach you practical coping strategies to face challenging situations, which will boost your resilience and adaptability
