Emotional suffering is woven into the fabric of life and is rooted in relationship patterns, inner contradictions and emotional blind spots; psychodynamic therapy is designed to address these issues.
Therapy facilitates self exploration, examines emotional blind spots and understanding of relationship patterns. There is scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of this form of treatment; mental suffering cannot be reduced to a list of symptoms and the treatment managing those symptoms. Mental health symptoms including depression, anxiety, panic, and stress-related physical ailments respond to treatment the benefits of which continue to grow following treatment.
