How Does Psychodynamic Therapy Work?

Through regular, open-ended conversations with a trained therapist, Psychodynamic Therapy helps clients explore unconscious thoughts, emotions, and motivations. The therapist acts as a guide, helping you connect past experiences to current issues. Sessions encourage you to reflect on your thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns that may be hindering your well-being.

Here's how the process typically unfolds:

  • Exploration: Your therapist creates a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

  • Identification: Together, you and your therapist identify patterns in your emotions, relationships, and behaviours.

  • Connection: You'll work to connect these patterns to past experiences and unconscious thoughts.

  • Insight: As you gain insight into these connections, you'll develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

  • Change: With this newfound awareness, you can make conscious choices to change unhelpful patterns and behaviours.

Throughout this process, your therapist may use various techniques, including:

  • Free association

  • Dream analysis

  • Transference analysis

  • Interpretation of defense mechanisms

What to Expect from Psychodynamic Therapy Sessions?

In each session, you’ll engage in free-flowing conversations that explore your thoughts, memories, and emotions. Unlike solution-focused therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy seeks long-term understanding, meaning the process can extend over several months to years, depending on individual needs.

You can expect:

  • Regular Sessions: Typically, you'll meet with your therapist once or twice a week for 45-50 minute sessions.

  • Open Discussion: Unlike some other therapies, psychodynamic therapy doesn't follow a strict agenda. You're encouraged to speak freely about whatever is on your mind.

  • Therapist Interaction: Your therapist will listen attentively and offer interpretations or questions to help you gain insight.

  • Exploration of Past: You'll likely discuss your childhood, past relationships, and significant life events.

  • Focus on Emotions: Your therapist will help you identify and explore your emotions, including those you may not be fully aware of.

  • Long-Term Commitment: While the duration varies, psychodynamic therapy often involves a longer-term commitment compared to some other therapeutic approaches.
