Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy encourages clients to develop awareness of their emotions and process unresolved feelings.
It is a process that involves making the unconscious conscious so that you are freed up from enacting unhelpful and unwanted patterns that keep you from getting your needs met or from achieving your goals.
In psychodynamic psychotherapy, the therapist seeks to help you to make links between the past and the present. For instance they might explore with you your particular attachment style (your unique pattern of relating to others that was developed before you even learned to talk!) so that you better understand your relationships and how to get your needs met in your relationships with others.
Attachment Styles
Attachment styles are characterised by different ways of interacting and behaving in relationships.
During early childhood, these attachment styles centre on how children and their care-givers interact. In adulthood, attachment styles describe attachment patterns within our personal relationships.
