About Psychoanalysis
WHY? FOR WHOM?
In the course of our lives, we may come across situations, challenges, or behaviors that repeatedly make us feel uneasy, hinder our aspirations and endeavors, and potentially cause suffering to ourselves and those around us.
The objective of psychoanalysis is to embark on an exploration of an individual's personal history, in order to comprehend how it shapes their present life across all its dimensions: family, relationships, career, and love. The ultimate aim is to gradually liberate the person from their symptoms, anxieties, and psychological suffering. Psychoanalysis operates as a "talking cure", where the analyst plays a crucial role by attentively listening to your discourse, creating a safe and privileged space for unrestricted and uncensored expression.
SEEKING HELP
Psychological distress can be as devastating as physical pain. It obstructs one's existence, complicates relationships with others, and leads to issues in both the emotional and professional spheres.
While people readily visit a doctor when faced with physical symptoms, psychological troubles are often neglected, resulting in seeking professional help only when they become unbearable.
WHICH SYMPTOMS, WHAT ISSUES?
When faced with challenges in areas like family, love, or work, it can be highly beneficial to consult with a specialist. Psychoanalysis can effectively address a wide range of symptoms and issues:
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression

Phobias

Obsessive-compulsive disorser (OCD)

This list is not exhaustive, as psychoanalysis can address a wide variety of psychological and emotional challenges. Each individual's treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs and concerns, as psychoanalysis focuses on exploring the unique history, experiences, and unconscious processes of the person seeking help.
