Ann and Brian, fall in love and are very happy, enjoy work, socializing with friends, romantic and sex life. After three years of dating, they begin to live together. Soon Brian becomes irritable, picky about Ann, sex has become rare. Brian has no doubts that he loves Ann and wants to live with her and cannot understand why he behaves this way. What's happening? What is he doing?
Subconscious.
It is possible that Brian's behavior is caused by thoughts and feelings that are only his and do not relate to Ann, but he cannot yet understand them. Perhaps he does not know how much he is afraid of commitment or how he wants to be the perfect father. It can be assumed that living together has activated these hidden fears, forcing them to influence Brian's behavior, although he himself does not realize it.
Things like this happen all the time. Your unconscious thoughts and feelings affect what you do, what you think, how you interact with other people. You can do something without understanding why you need it and what is happening to you. This often leads to high anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and problems with self-esteem and self-determination. All this happens in your subconscious, understanding this and bringing it to consciousness can help you understand yourself and your feelings.
How to understand your unconscious?
How do you get to thoughts and feelings that you don't know about? It may sound very complicated, but in psychodynamic therapy, you can do it with several basic methods. The first is free association. It is possible and necessary to say whatever comes to mind, without censorship. Second, you can talk about all your dreams and fantasies. They often help connect what is happening in your current life and your past. The third is to speak freely and discuss feelings about your individual analyst or group analyst. This will help you become aware of your unconscious musli and feelings about other people and how they affect you and your life.
What do you get by understanding your subconscious mind?
You know and understand yourself and your feelings better at different moments of life. This allows them to better control them and make informed decisions. Your psychoanalyst will help you in understanding your unconscious; you can get support from him in difficult times. For example, you have depression, you will feel bad, the psychoanalyst will be able to support you and point out your resistance to you, as well as motivate you to further work. Or he may be able to help you structure your thoughts and actions during a personal crisis. Psychodynamic (psychoanalytic) therapy can help you start doing things that you haven't learned to do before. If you do not know how to trust, a psychoanalyst will help you understand how this can be done and will help you learn to trust. When the conscious and unconscious live in conflicts, you stop being a hostage and victim of the unconscious and independently build your life.
How does this happen…
Depending on the goals, psychodynamic psychotherapy once or two to three times a week, more than once a week helps to delve into your unconscious as much as possible and better understand yourself. Short-term psychoanalytic therapy focuses on one or two questions and lasts about 15-17 weeks, while long-term psychoanalysis works with different goals (no restrictions) and can last for years. Short-term focal psychoanalysis is carried out while sitting in a chair or chair, while deeper psychoanalytic therapy encourages the patient to use a couch. Lying down, it is easier for the patient to delve into his unconscious and reveal its secret parts.
In therapy, Brian realizes that he is unconsciously pushing Ann to break up with him. This was the case with his parents. This discovery allows him to understand that his life and marriage may be different from that of his parents and a happy life with Ann. By making the unconscious conscious (during psychoanalytic therapy), Brian can choose how he will live. It can help not only him;)
