What is psychoanalytic psychotherapy?
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking therapy. It may help you reduce your problems, enrich your understanding of yourself, and live a fulfilling life with meaningful relationships. This type of therapy is based on the theories and practices of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology. Psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are closely related studies, originating in the ideas of Freud and Jung. Nowadays they are also heavily influenced by modern thinkers, researchers, and therapists. Therapy is based on helping you become aware of previously unconscious conflicts, and deep-seated reactions to other people and to yourself. These conflicts and reactions often stem from earlier experiences, including those which date back to your childhood.
