What is Psychodynamic therapy?
Equips you for emotional growth and well-being
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that explores how unconscious thoughts and emotions influence behavior. It’s based on the idea that our early life experiences, especially those from childhood, shape our personality and behavior patterns.
- Unconscious Mind: Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the unconscious mind, where thoughts, feelings, and memories influence our actions and relationships, even though we may not be aware of them.
- Insight and Understanding: Therapists help clients gain insight into inner conflicts and how past experiences affect present behavior. Exploring past relationships uncovers patterns of behavior and thought.
- Collaborative Approach: Therapists and clients collaborate to identify underlying issues and develop strategies for addressing them. This teamwork deepens understanding of the client’s inner world and promotes meaningful change.
- Thorough Exploration: Psychodynamic therapy takes time, allowing thorough exploration and understanding. This longer-term approach lets clients delve deeply into their emotions, experiences, and relationships.
Psychodynamic therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals grappling with longstanding emotional issues, relationship challenges, or difficulties managing emotions. By bringing unconscious processes into awareness, psychodynamic therapy aims to help individuals make meaningful changes to improve their mental well-being.

What does Psychodynamic therapy treat?
Here at Viva, we understand that all distressing symptoms and struggles are normal as an offshoot of trauma residue in our nervous system. Therefore we do not use labels. However psychodynamic therapy is effective at treating challenges you may know as depression, anxiety, bodily disorders, phobias, eating disorders, and personality disorders. It can also benefit individuals interested in how their thoughts and actions are rooted in past beliefs and experiences, especially relational challenges. This makes it especially useful for trauma work.
