We are all shaped by life experiences, and there is a connection between the past and present. How we experience ourselves in the present is informed by the experiences, good or bad, from the past Overall, psychodynamic therapy is a deep and reflective approach that emphasizes understanding the complexities of the human psyche. By exploring the unconscious influences on behavior and emotions, clients can achieve greater awareness and personal growth, leading to more fulfilling and authentic lives. This approach aids us in developing insight, the first part in recovery, with change being the second.
