WHY PSYCHOANALYSIS?

to discover my appetite;
to put words to my sorrow and my anguish;
to take an interest in the strangeness in me;
to say something old in a new way;
to keep the conversation going…


PSYCHOANALYSIS IS…

a comprehensive theory of attachment, subjectivity, and the human psyche
as well as a theory of how language shapes us as persons;

a listening cure;

a therapeutic approach attending to the ways in which past experiences
have left traces in our mind and body which make themselves felt
in often incomprehensible, unhealthy, damaging and sometimes
destructive behavior – towards ourselves and towards the people,
animals and environments we interact with.

We are attachment seeking creatures.
And we are speaking beings.
Psychoanalytic therapy works in the intersection of these
fundamental human qualities.

We heal in a benign environment in relation to others.
That is why the therapeutic relationship, before anything else,
is a caring one.
