What to Expect from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
When you engage in psychodynamic psychotherapy, you can expect a journey of self-discovery that unfolds over time.
The process is not about quick fixes or sticking plasters, but rather about understanding the deeper layers of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
How Frequent?
Sessions typically occur once or twice a week and provide a consistent, supportive environment where you can explore your inner experiences freely. Your therapist will listen attentively, helping you to connect the dots between your past and present, and guiding you toward greater self-awareness.
During Therapy
During therapy, you may encounter emotions and memories that you’ve previously kept at bay. This is a natural part of the process and an opportunity to confront and understand these feelings in a supportive environment.
What will we explore?
Your therapist will work with you to explore these emotions, offering insights and helping you to see how they influence your current life. Over time, you’ll begin to recognise patterns in your thoughts and behaviours, and with this awareness, you can start making more conscious choices that align with your true self.
Deep and Lasting Changes
The deep and lasting changes that can result from this process are well worth the effort. Ultimately, this therapy aims to help you live a more authentic, fulfilling life, with a stronger sense of self and healthier relationships.
