Psychodynamic Therapy in Calgary

Psychodynamic Therapy Calgary

Our Calgary Psychologist Clinic has therapists that are experienced in using Psychodynamic Therapy to help clients achieve their therapeutic goals. Psychodynamic therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on understanding and exploring the unconscious processes and past experiences that shape an individual’s current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the principles of psychodynamic theory, which was developed by Sigmund Freud and expanded upon by other notable psychologists.

In psychodynamic therapy, the therapist and client work collaboratively to identify and analyze the unconscious conflicts and patterns that may be contributing to psychological distress. The therapist helps the client gain insight into their emotions, motivations, and relationships by exploring their early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and any unresolved issues that may be affecting their present-day functioning.

One of the key concepts in psychodynamic therapy is the notion of the unconscious mind. According to this theory, individuals are influenced by unconscious thoughts and desires that are often outside of their awareness. By bringing these unconscious processes into conscious awareness, psychodynamic therapy aims to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and make changes in their lives.

The therapeutic relationship plays a crucial role in psychodynamic therapy. The therapist provides a safe and nonjudgmental environment for the client to freely express their thoughts, emotions, and fantasies. Through the process of transference, where the client projects feelings and attitudes onto the therapist, the therapist can gain insight into the client’s internal world and offer interpretations and insights to promote healing and growth.

Psychodynamic therapy is often a longer-term treatment, as it involves a comprehensive exploration of the client’s history and deep-seated emotional issues. The goal is to uncover underlying causes of distress and work towards resolving them, rather than focusing solely on symptom management. The therapy process can help clients develop self-awareness, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

It’s important to note that psychodynamic therapy has evolved over time, and contemporary approaches may incorporate various techniques and theories beyond Freudian concepts. While it may not be the most widely practiced form of therapy today, it continues to be valued for its emphasis on self-exploration, insight, and understanding the impact of early life experiences on current functioning.
