What is Psychodynamic Therapy?

Psychodynamic therapy is a treatment method that explores how unconscious thoughts, past experiences, and emotional patterns influence current behavior and emotions. It focuses on understanding how unresolved issues, often from childhood, can affect relationships, decision-making, and mental health. Psychodynamic therapy is beneficial for increasing self-awareness and insight in order to process and resolve underlying issues. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to uncover these patterns and promote emotional healing.
