#Psychodynamic #therapy is also known as #psychotherapy and #psychodynamic #counselling which helps you understand how your current feelings and behaviours are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind and impulses.
The relationship between yourself and your #counsellor is important with this therapeutic #counselling approach, creating a successful trusting relationship encourages free and open talk about your childhood, your past and the relationships with those around you.
This is aimed at gaining understanding on what you’re feeling now, why you behave in a certain way, and most importantly how this affects your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in relationships now.
Psychodynamic therapy is a counselling approach that originated from #psychoanalysis and the theories of #Freud. In simple terms it has a focus to get to the root of the problem to create long-lasting change and understanding.
The theory believes that our unconscious mind, that we not aware of, can keep us stuck, as it protects us from past painful emotions or thoughts.
Psychodynamic therapy or counselling will help you look for these patterns. Together we reach deep into the unconscious to find the source of the root or the knot. This is so we can start to unravel and during this process, as we 'unpick', we bring the unknown into the conscious awareness.
Often experiences from our past can happen when we are too young to understand, or process powerful #emotions surrounding the situation or the #overwhelming feelings. Looking at past experiences can allow the space in a safe environment to reassess them as an adult, rethink how they impact our day to day lives and learn to make different choices.
So, What is Psychodynamic Counselling and why is it so useful? It helps us to gain vital #self- awareness and understanding, allowing the opportunity to choose to move on with your life with renewed perspective.
Learnt, automatic behaviours can often exist without us consciously knowing. Morals, values and beliefs can feel familiar but uncomfortable.
Ever said; I know what I should do but why doesn't it feel right? ........Psychodynamic Counselling  aim is to set us free from doubts, anxieties and conflicting thoughts.
