Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its focus is on self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between the therapist and you as a window into problematic relationship patterns in your life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help you lead healthier lives. The therapist helps you gain insight into your life and present-day problems. They also evaluate patterns that are developed over time. To do this, they will explore with you your early-life experiences, attachment patterns, thoughts, emotions and beliefs.
