Psychodynamic Therapy

[SAS]

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of depth psychology, the primary focus of which is to reveal the unconscious content of a client's psyche in an effort to alleviate psychic tension. In this way, it is similar to psychoanalysis, however, psychodynamic therapy tends to be more brief and less intensive than psychoanalysis. It also relies on the interpersonal relationship between client and therapist more than other forms of depth psychology.

You will aciev this by observing your thoughts, thought patterns, emotions, and actions. Everyone can be there own psychologis if they did so. Once you know your unconscious behavior and are aware of it. You then have a choice. When God says "forgive him for he knows not what he does.". He is talking about the unconscious one. Most people with SA are unconscious which is sad. If only everyone observed their thoughts, they would then find a solution. Great post. Nobody needs the actual therapy though. They can do it without help like I did. I cured my SA forever.

I found psychodynamic therapy helpful for a while. It helped me to become aware that I do have blind spots. I have thoughts and beliefs; there was inconsistency with my behavior and what I believed sometimes, and this therapy helped me to analyze more and pay attention to how I interpreted events in life.

I love psychodynamic, it has been more helpful to me than CBT (and CBT is the recommended treatment plan for this disorder)

It seems like most treatments are designed to make you FEEL like you are progressing, or changing, while still keeping you in need of the service. If you help people too much, if they could be actually cured, they wouldn't come back for more.

Isn't the goal of science to find EXPLANATIONS? Half-measures are just as productive for some though.

Yes the $$$$ is an assumption on my part, but after less than a minute of searching I find this:

"Psychotherapist and professor Andrew Samuels stated that this constitutes "a coup, a power play by a community that has suddenly found itself on the brink of corralling an enormous amount of money. Science isn't the appropriate perspective from which to look at emotional difficulties. Everyone has been seduced by CBT's apparent cheapness."

it is a cheaper psychoanalysis.
psychoanalysis is a completely useless pseudoscience.
cheaper one is a cheaper pseudoscience.
I had experienced psychodynamic therapy. a huge money and time wasted.

I know that the best course of psychotherapy is starting with Psychodynamic and going to CBT then maybe Mindfulness CBT then Emotion Focused Therapy and maybe if you still have it in you, narrative therapy.

I'm not sure if psychodynamic will help you in the short term but make you understand where your problems came from while CBT focuses on there here and now and gives you the tools to deal with the thoughts right away.

I think it's difficult to find a good psychodynamic therapist that doesn't buy into the classical Freudian stuff and sometimes you never know what you're getting yourself into.


Just curious - phobiaphobe - did the threapy help you with SA or GAD?

Despite the fact that many people are against psychoanalysis and consider it useless, it was helpful for me. I tried other methods of therapy, such as humanistic therapy, but they didn't work with me. The therapeutic relationship is very important.
