What is “psychodynamic” therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy is a conversation between therapist and patient or client that is based on the assumptions that: • Much of our behavior and many of our thoughts and feelings are outside our awareness • Talking with an experienced professional can help people understand how they think, feel, and behave • Understanding one’s own mind can lead to greater freedom to live one’s life well. The thoughts and feelings that arise in psychotherapy provide keys to understanding oneself with the help of an experienced therapist.
