Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Psychotherapy is also called talk therapy, so taking this into account, psychodynamic sessions involve open-ended discussions where you can explore thoughts, feelings and memories. The therapist actively listens, offering interpretations and insights to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your challenges.

Psychodynamic therapy is an in-depth, insight-oriented approach that explores unconscious thoughts and past experiences to understand current patterns and emotional struggles. Drawing from the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, psychodynamic approaches focus on unconscious psychological processes.

Psychodynamic therapy is versatile and effective for various concerns, including anxiety disorders (social anxiety, panic disorder, etc.), major depressive disorder (MDD), maladaptive ways of dealing with stress, and relationship difficulties. By exploring unconscious processes, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing your emotional well-being.
