What is psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis is a powerful tool for alleviating suffering and re-orientating how you live. It is also a fundamental investigation of what it is to be human.
Psychoanalysis enables us to gain a radically different perspective on who we are and what we want, relieving suffering and enabling us to re-assess our lives. It provides relief from and solutions to many problems including: Anxiety; Depression; Inhibitions; Problems with sex; Problems with family, friends and relationships; Symptoms with no medical explanation; Self-destructive cycles and repetitions; Addiction; Trauma; Bereavement; Life changes; Ethical dilemmas.
How does it work?
Through speech.
Our lives are full of contradictory forces: words, obligations, bodies, families, ideals, impulses, social expectations, strange desires. In often unnoticed but immensely powerful ways, these shape us and, where they conflict or overwhelm us, we suffer.
They have been formed differently in each of us, in infancy and the course of our growing up; through difficult life events and times of happiness; through how we have understood what has happened to us; through our culture; and by the impact on us of language itself.
Through speaking, it may become possible to set them in new motion, unknot things that are tangled up, think and make decisions, create. Psychoanalysis doesn't give a standard solution, it gives you time to work out one particular to you.
