What is psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis is a process based on observations where a people are often unaware of many factors that describe their emotions and behaviour. These unconscious factors may create unhappiness, sometimes in the form of recognizable symptoms and at the other times as troubling personality traits, difficult in work or in love relationships, or disturbances in mood and self – esteem. Because these feeling are inadvertent and so overpowering that individual struggles to find peace even after getting support and advices of friends and family, the ready of self- help books or even most determined efforts of will.
Psychoanalysis treatment demonstrates how these unconscious factors affect current relationships and patterns of behaviour, traces them back to their historical origins, shows how they have changed and developed over time, and helps the person to accept and handle the hardships and realities of adult life in better way.
Although psychoanalysis began as a tool for improving emotional suffering, it is not only a therapy. It is, in addition, a method for learning about mind, and also a theory, a way of understanding the processes of normal everyday mental functioning and the stages of normal development from infancy to old age. Furthermore, since psychoanalysis seeks to explain how the human mind works, it contributes an insight into whatever the human mind produces.
As it is proven method with results, and this process is highly individualized treatment, those who are looking benefits from such methodology, should consult with an experienced psychoanalyst. For example, a victim of childhood abuse might suffer from an inability to trust others. Some people come for analysis because of the repeated failures in work or in love, brought about not by chance but by self-destructive patterns of behaviour And still others seek analysis to resolve psychological problems that were only temporarily or partiall.
