“That of which we are not aware, owns us.” James Hollis
Psychodynamic Therapy is a talking therapy rooted in the understanding that who we are today has been shaped by past experiences usually out of our conscious awareness.
Psychodynamic Therapy draws on over a century of research on subjects such as Attachment theory, Defence mechanisms, True and false self and Narcissistic wounding, to name a few. Through dialogue with a Psychodynamic therapist these concepts allow us to make sense of:
​
-
how we relate to others and to ourselves
-
the dominant feelings that have taken root in us
-
the symbolism of the stories we tell others, and ourselves, about ourselves
​​​​
Psychodynamic Therapy can help you to:
​
-
gain insight into why difficulties exist and why they persist
-
understand and change habitual patterns of behaving
-
have a less debilitating relationship with BPD/anxiety/depression
-
develop self resilience and enable meaningful lasting change
​​​​
