You may be wondering if therapy is for you. Therapy can be many different things todifferent people. You may have a specific problem you would like to address – astrained relationship, an unsatisfying job, trouble with food or sex. You may bedealing with something more obscure – a vague feeling that something is not right, ageneral sense of detachment from yourself and others. Or you may need someone todelve with you into the depth of your suffering and bear it with you. Certainexperiences and discoveries can only happen in the presence of a professional,supportive other.
Weaving together past and present, fantasy and reality, mind and culture, psychoanalytic psychotherapy allows for hidden or unknown conflicts, needs, anddesires to find expression and come to life. At its best, therapy takes you on ajourney of self-exploration and self-expansion towards a life that is more fully andjoyfully lived.
