You have the sense that you’re a bit different.
There’s a deep rooted sense of being alone.
You’re feeling a serious lack of motivation in life, and it feels like you’re emotions are just set against you.
There’s anxiety, irritability, sadness, and it’s taking its toll.
Most of all, you feel like you simply don’t know yourself, and you end up placing yourself last in relationships. Others take the priority.
You’re afraid that you can no longer just ““do it”. You can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, and you worry that life will always be like this.
But the truth is that you don’t have to live in this fear.
Psychodynamic therapy can help you break through and truly understand yourself.
So you can emerge from the tunnel into the path of meaning and joy.
Finding the root cause is always the start.
Yes, the root is in our childhood. From living in a chaotic home, having emotionally immature parents, witnessing conflict, all these things take their toll.
It could be little trauma like ongoing emotional neglect, bullying, verbal abuse, a difficult divorce, loss of a job, or other stressful life events.
Or it can be a big trauma like an assault, car crash, abuse, divorce, things that completely jar your reality.
These things get stored away, and when we’re older, they unleash themselves in the form of anxiety, depression and feeling lost.
Through Psychodynamic therapy, we get to the root cause.
Think of our minds like an iceberg – the top of the iceberg that we can see above the water represents our conscious thoughts and behaviors, while the large, hidden mass underneath represents our unconscious thoughts and emotions.
Psychodynamic therapy helps us dive deeper beneath the surface of the water to explore and understand the hidden parts of our minds that we may not even be aware of.
By doing this, we can gain insight into how past experiences and relationships are impacting our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
From there, we work to full resolve and process these past issues.
And when we can unlock them, they no longer hold power over our lives.
Why should you work with Psychodynamic therapy? Just a few reasons…
– Increased self-awareness: gaining a deeper understanding of oneself, motivation and behavior.
– Improved relationships: Understanding patterns of behavior and past experiences impact current relationships, you can begin to work towards developing healthier and more fulfilling relationships with others.
– Emotional regulation – addressing underlying emotional issues allow for the development of better-coping mechanisms and managing difficult emotions more effectively.
– Long-lasting changes: By addressing the root causes, individuals feel better beyond the in-moment feelings.
The change can be truly incredible:
Through the process, you can feel true relief as you let go of the events of the past.
After a breakthrough, you can experience real joy and excitement, and that gives you real motivation.
You get to understand your past, understand who you are then, and then be able to make changes for the better.
