Psychodynamic therapy and its applications
In contemporary therapeutic practice, Drawing from Freudian principles, this approach aims to uncover subconscious influences on present behaviours, emotions, and thoughts. It focuses on delving into unconscious processes, interpersonal dynamics, and the impact of early childhood experiences on shaping personality development. At It's Complicated, we acknowledge the diverse applications of psychodynamic therapy across various mental health concerns. Whether navigating past traumas, addressing unresolved conflicts, or grappling with interpersonal difficulties, psychodynamic therapy offers a nurturing environment for exploration and healing. Through a psychodynamic lens our network of adept therapists facilitates a thorough understanding of the underlying dynamics shaping an individual's experiences.
How Psychodynamic therapy works
Sessions typically involve exploring recurring themes, patterns, and conflicts in the client's life. Through interpretation and reflection, the therapist assists the client in making connections between past experiences and present challenges, fostering insight and self-awareness. Clients actively participate in the therapeutic process, engaging in self-reflection, introspection, and open communication. They are encouraged to share any thoughts or feelings that arise during the session, regardless of how trivial or uncomfortable they may seem. As the sessions progress, the therapist may introduce therapeutic techniques such as free association, dream analysis, or exploration of transference and countertransference dynamics. These techniques aim to deepen the client's understanding of their internal world and promote psychological growth.

Man must, in order to survive, always be mindful of his impotence Carl Gustav Jung, CW11: par. 579 The etymological root of the word failure is to be found in Old French falir, to “be lacking; to not succeed”. Through the failures in our life we are confronted with our lack and limits as beings.
