What is psychodynamic psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic psychotherapy, drawing on theories and practices of psychoanalysis, is a type of talk therapy that helps people understand and work through deep-seated emotional issues. The main aim of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to uncover the hidden causes of emotional difficulties and bring them to light so that you can deal with them more effectively. It helps you explore your inner world and look at how past experiences may influence your current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. This type of therapy can help you make lasting changes that improve your emotional wellbeing and your relationships.
