Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy is the oldest of the modern therapies.  (Freud’s psychoanalysis is a specific form and subset of psychodynamic therapy), and so relies on a theory of human development and interaction.
It involves looking into events from the past and the affects those events had on you, as a way of gathering information and insight into why you behave in certain ways in the present. ​
Psychodynamic therapy is designed to help patients explore the full range of their emotions, including feelings they may not be aware of. By making the unconscious elements of their life a part of their present experience, psychodynamic therapy helps people understand how their behavior and mood are affected by unresolved issues and unconscious feelings.
