Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring recurring themes and patterns in a person’s life. It helps people express emotions, thoughts, fantasies, dreams, and daydreams that may have been initially difficult to recognize or acknowledge.

Through the meaningful relationship formed between the psychodynamic therapist and patient, the patient is encouraged to explore connections between past experiences and their present life, with the goal of helping the person gain greater flexibility in their view of themselves and in their relationships with others.
