The
Unconscious in Psychotherapy
Individuals
are often unaware of many of the factors that determine their emotions and
behaviours.Unhappiness, difficulties in work or love, self esteem, body image, and illness may be influenced by the unconscious.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy demonstrates how unconscious agents affect current relationships and impinge on one's life creating automatic and destructive patterns.
The goal of treatment is an increased awareness of the sources of one's emotional conflicts and problems that may constrict one's lifestyle. With insight, and understanding one can have an enriched, balanced and full life.
