What is analytic therapy?

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a method of treatment through talking. It’s aim is to understand the unconscious meaning of the person’s behavior, his or her unconsciously repeated actions and patterns that are dysfunctional or result in unfavorable consequences.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy often helps people to overcome obstacles that hinder them from leading a more fulfilling life, experiencing more internal freedom, being more creative and liberated from internal restrictions. This, in turn, helps enhance self esteem and enjoyment of life.

Analytic therapy helps a person to regain their freedom from symptoms, to start leading a more creative and meaningful life, and to open up new areas of development for a person, which had been blocked due to past traumatic moments that remained in the person’s life as obstacles to further development.
