Unraveling the Psyche's Complexities

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy assumes that unconscious processes, such as repressed memories, fantasies, and desires, play a significant role in our thoughts, feelings, and actions. By accessing and understanding these unconscious elements, therapists can help clients gain insight into their inner workings and make lasting changes.
