When we go to a psychotherapist, we usually have a question in mind: why do I always react this way in certain situations, even though it doesn't improve things? Why, despite my efforts, am I unable to have satisfying relationships? Why do I feel sad even though, on the surface, I have everything I need?
How is it that I regularly find myself in situations that cause me stress and suffering?
We realize that something unpleasant keeps happening in our lives and that it is beyond our control and understanding. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy helps us break free from these kinds of repetitions that cause psychological suffering, relationship difficulties, or both.
It is through what happens in the relationship with the psychotherapist that we are able to identify the source of these repetitions and free ourselves from their grip.
