What is Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy?
Many people experience having depression or anxiety for a number of years before they actually come in for treatment. Sometimes they think if they need some help, they really are sick or crazy. What it really means is we all have times in our lives when we experience difficult, emotionally challenging, traumatic, and confusing feelings and we need someone to listen and help us sort everything out.
If our childhood was chaotic and there was dysfunction among family members, this can contribute to ongoing problems in our lives. We learn how to relate to others from our childhood home and family. It doesn't mean we spend therapy sessions blaming our family members, we try to gain a new and a better level of understanding of our families and so learn to understand ourselves better as a result. In time, we work through lots of feelings and emotions that have been internalized for a long time, and this enables us to move forward in our lives in the present.
All of us have many strengths and talents that are just waiting to be discovered and therapy can help uncover them. We owe it to ourselves to learn what these gifts are and to use them to the best of our ability. In return, our lives become more fulfilling and we can enjoy much more. If you think you are depressed, confused, feel restless, have dysfunctional relationships, and can't seem to enjoy life, give yourself the opportunity to begin to heal and grow.
