Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

In psychodynamic psychotherapy, the focus is on the person's inner workings and the individual's unique experience which helps identify and address the underlying causes of the patient's problems. The first phase of psychodynamic therapy involves establishing a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the patient to establish trust and understanding. This is followed by exploration of the patient's thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. During this stage, the therapist helps the patient to become aware of their mental dynamics and patterns of thinking which can then be interpreted and understood in the light of the patient's beliefs. The aim is to bring unconscious motivations to the surface and help the patient recognize the influence of the past in their present life. The therapist can then help the patient to understand the process, become aware of their feelings, and work through them to achieve a happier lifestyle. It is particularly helpful in dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression. It also helps identify and address issues that impact lifestyle such as chronic anger or self-esteem. In summary, psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of traditional medicine that utilises the patient's understanding of their mental dynamics to help overcome psychological issues. The success of this type of therapy lies in creating a trusting relationship between the therapist and patient in order to explore the patient's thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behavior.
