The psychotherapist today is not an elderly man with beard and glasses, who, sitting quietly in a gloomy cabinet, takes notes in a leather notebook – this is the therapist from the generation of my professors, however, times are changing.
The therapist of today merges with the crowd, feels its energy, and captures the emotions and vibrations associated with every social event, fashion fad, cataclysm, new social network or application. Life is happening dynamically and we are always up-to-date with its changes, learning from our clients, being accessible to them in a variety of channels, sharing our personalities in order to inspire positive change in others. Our blog is an essential part of this self-reflective, transformative process.
Psychoanalysis is one of the many existing forms of psychotherapy. I chose to dedicate my career to this field because I see it as the most profound and complex method of treating others thus far. Even when the client (also called analysant) arrives with a specific problem, the therapist tries to look at it in the context of the overall personality and subjective experiences of the individual. We try to interpret the unconscious motivations and beliefs that have led him/her to suffering. We do not put people in a box because every person is unique and his/her problems require a unique solution. Our ultimate goal is to help the analysant discover what is best for him/herself, while in the pursuit of overcoming their greatest problems.
