    I am really glad to have come across this video about Psychodynamic Therapy. For all this time that I have encountered and face my own problems, I believe this is the kind of approach that I really wanted to do. One of the clear reason why I’m having a hard time to process other insights might be also a part of the fact that I’m trying to try to dive deeper but I know for the fact that I am not yet ready because I do not have my own safety net. Anyway, I believe the video gave me a big push in pursuing other paths of my own psyche and I am really looking forward to the future that there is for me. Thank you, Ana!

    my old therapist was like this and some sessions I felt I learned nothing in some session, but when reflecting the last year or so I realized just how much we tackled. he mirrored me a lot, too. if I was silient, he was silent, etc. I think I want to go back having gotten my Psych degree recently. I feel I understand him a lot better.

    Honestly I can totally relate have had a couple of months of Psychodynamic Therapy, I changed after feeling awful and more confused after my CBT sessions. It felt like I was in this structured schedule and it felt so forced and un-natural and overly semantic. Psychodynamic therapy lets my feel air and breathe after a session. I don't feel shame after. It helps me understand myself and my history to understand and empathise on why I am the way I am. Life is hard but this decision is something I fully reccommend.

    Other people can see things about ourselves that we cannot see. Ray Dalio speaks about ego barriers and ego blind spots (defence mechanisms) we all possess to differing things unique to the person. The more awareness you can gain about these the better off you become and the less suffering you will experience.

    As someone who has been doing psychodynamic therapy for years, I have to say it is one of the best things I ever done. It's scary, its encouraging, it's confusing, it's insightful, it's dull, and it's exciting.
    I think if you have the courage and opportunity to do psychodynamic therapy with a good psychologist, take it, you will learn so much about yourself. Sometimes it is obtuse or boring or confronting, but it is important to keep in the back of your mind that you are always learning more about yourself.
    As Ana said, it is a bit frustrating when you aren't given activities or timelines for expectations like in CBT or schema based therapies (especially if you're a bit type A like me lol). It's about becoming self aware and then making the choice to move away from learned automatic lines of thinking that are unhealthy.
    Good luck to everyone on their mental health journey! You all can do it!

    i hate when i’m in CBT or DBT and they pull up worksheets. Idk it’s so surface level . After 8 years of in and out of this type of “therapy” i just relied on youtube videos and friends on philosophical conversations and things we approach so we recognize our patterns cuz at the end of the day It’s Us individuals making the change happen . Therapy just adds as a plus . However i have been trying to find a psychodynamic therapist but they are so hard to find especially on my Medicaid Mental Services Plan

    This video was beautifully helpful for me. Had a cathartic cry. I’m looking into different grad school programs to become a therapist and one of them is psychodynamic -based. Whether it is the program to train me to be a therapist I won’t know yet but hearing that feeling the emotions that I have been avoiding can be so helpful was just what I needed to hear right now in my personal therapy journey. Thanks for making this video.

  • @Paxility

    Your video touches in something I've been feeling for a while know.
    Looking into myself and my upbringing I have logically recognised a lot of things about myself. For example that I likely have a fearful avoidant attachment style.
    Due to hypervigilance at least 50% of my brain is always focused on analysing the social dynamics around me.
    However that doesn't help me much. Knowing all that doesn't make me feel any differently. So now I'm just stuck watching myself repeating the same patterns over and over.

  • @willimeier8903
    @willimeier8903 Рік тому +18

    What I find interesting is that I have found many aspects of this in CBT as well, especially in third wave approaches like ACT (for example noticing defense mechanisms and experiential avoidance, or the therapist relationship being one that breaks the patient's usual relationship patterns). In my opinion a good CB therapist is also aware of these aspects and goes beyond worksheets and cognitive restructuring.

      Exactly! I'm finishing my masters in CBT and most of the things she mentioned we spoke about during the course. Just not the dream analysis part and the more freudian side of it I guess. This video was very helpful for me because I used to think psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis where basically the same thing, and now I understand that's not true.

    I'm an introspective and open book type rambler, with a disconnect from my own feelings that seems to trigger automatically (I try to feel my sadness, but the feeling slips away almost immediately). Maybe this type of therapy is exactly what I need? My preference is to lay everything out on the table because I have absolutely no idea what is and isn't a priority- if I knew what the solution to my problems were, they would no longer be problems, and if I knew where I should be looking for solutions, I'd have found them by now. I tried counseling, it went poorly, and I gave up because I couldn't tell the poor guy what I even needed help with or why I was there.

    Doctor, i'm pre-psychiatry and there seems to be more scrutiny in the past ~10 years of psychodynamics, perhaps, simply because of the runaway success of CBT in that period. But it seems to me that there is certainly a place for it. My question though, do you feel psychodynamic therapy is becoming of an alternative/holistic treatment, simply due to how overwhelming the evidence base is now for CBT, and that pshynoanalysis by nature is harder to measure? What are your thoughts on the evidence base for these treatments? Thank you so much, I've always been interested in this style and it just so happens to be what most psychiatrists learn over CBT.

But the truth is no real therapy happens until after 6 months, and any therapist worht their salt these days uses multiple approaches.

      A large proportion of my supervisors and peers during grad school were psychodynamic! It's just not the main modality to be showcased in research because it typically lasts much longer than the short-term resources studies can afford. Also, a lot of insurances won't reimburse long-term therapy because they want the client "fixed" in 5-20 sessions.

    I only just finished a year of psychodynamic therapy and was hoping that this video would somehow tell me that I did something wrong. I know that's not the best way to go about things but I ended up feeling pressured about opening up (since going into psychodyn wasn't my choice, I was scared of refusing or not engaging leading to future therapy becoming inaccessible) and I just feel so much worse..
    The frequency and intensity of nightmares I have about traumatic events got so much worse and I'm not sure what to do at this point? I'm left feeling like I now have to deal with it all on my own, all alone. There wasn't much support in the therapy. It was and still is a huge struggle trying to talk about the things I've experienced and am dealing with because I just feel so much shame about it..
    I wonder if I've made the wrong choice by sticking with it instead of pushing back and trying to get trauma therapy like I originally hoped to?

    I'm so happy to hear your perspective on psychodynamic therapy. I have been a patient of psychoanalytic psychotherapy for 7 years now and am currently finishing my bachelor's degree in psychology, looking towards specializing in my master's (in Portugal, you only need master's and a year of mentored work to become a licensed clinical psychologist) in Psychodynamic Therapy. I must say that I share your views on what CBT "lacks" compared to what psychodynamic therapy can provide, and I find it very hard to find similar views with my peers in university, as all are very driven towards CBT. So I appreciate the chance of identification! I also have thought for a long time to write about the sessions, but have never done it, and I suspect you've been having such great improvements thanks to that bonus work, so I'm going to try to do the same. I'm currently pregnant for the first time and this transformative time has brought a whole new set of obstacles, and i need all the help i can get to keep developing my insight and with that a more enjoyable meaningful life.

    • @AnaPsychology
      @AnaPsychology  Рік тому +4

      It can certainly change cognitive patterns, though it does so in a more indirect way than other types of therapy. For example, some forms of therapy might promote a type of cognitive change by teaching skills, assigning homework, filling out worksheets... Whereas a psychodynamic therapist can prompt cognitive flexibility in the client by pointing out defense behaviors that impede cognitive flexibility, modeling cognitive flexibility themselves, helping the client process the emotions preventing cognitive flexibility, getting to the root of what initially caused the cognitive flexibility, etc.

    • @Tjenaretjenaremannen

The bond you make is your projection who is a therapist. The therapist "only listens" and asks questions. Once I said to the therapist 'you would say....' immediately I got it, because the therapist *never* made a statement, so I made of a therapist a character that doesn't exist...
