Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
What I offer > Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
There are times in which an individual may experience internal conflicts that can be more or less painful and, in some cases, can develop from troublesome to incapacitating. The person may also suffer a general or an eventual discomfort that can be detrimental. At other times, one looks for the help needed in order to understand better and to live a fuller life.
Psychoanalysis considers that there are a range of unconscious processes, unknown by the self, that can prevent the individual from being free and content. With the full use of one´s abilities and potential, the individual can acquire the necessary tools to learn how to become oneself and to be free. Psychoanalysis is based on love for the truth and the desire for inner freedom. Through the process of Psychoanalysis, the individual is equipped to develop into the architect of one´s own destiny, and to learn how to accept the future with expectancy. The goal of psychoanalytical treatment is to re-examine one´s personal history by re-writing it, so as to face the present and future with courage and hope.
Psychoanalysis successfully completed allows the individual to obtain inner wisdom. When the individual is able to regain stability as well as to ease tensions and internal conflicts, one can live in peace with the self and with one´s surroundings. Likewise, Psychoanalysis also permits the use of all the potential and inner resources, as well as to be able to construct new ones.
Depending on the necessities and the singularity of each person, the accurate treatment to achieving all these goals can be either Psychoanalysis or Psychotherapy. During the first interviews between psychotherapist and patient, it is decided which is the most appropriate treatment for each person.
The work of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy is based on listening and respect for the other, being at the service of life and on all that promotes inner growth.
The various types of Psychotherapy I offer to adults, adolescents and children may also be carried out in English, depending on one´s needs.
