The goal of psychoanalysis is to reduce persistent psychological and psychosomatic impairments which threaten quality of clients life. It is difficult and timelly process of uncovering hidden causes of current problems, often rooted in unknown conflicts, repressed traumatic memories or automized behaviour learned in ancient past.
Understanding to hidden motives and ancient connections helps to feel actual emotions and learn new ways of managing them under current conditions without burden of unknown past.
Major bariers to overcome by the analytical process are subconsies defences, preconceptions and anxiety to uncover traumatic emotions, as well as fear of being rudiculed or humiliated in front of the other.
Gradual uncovering of many layers of defences and pretences is possible slowly, in coóperation of therapist and client.
Psychoanalysis usually takes 1 to 3 sessions a week for several months or even years, based on the clients needs, his ability to selfanalysis and severity of his condition.
