Here to help you. Psychotherapy, which has enduring impacts on our sense of self, has an enormous capacity to positively affect our lives, including feeling better, becoming open-minded, taking initiatives, and maintaining meaningful relationships. In addition, I believe that psychotherapy/psychoanalysis provides a rare opportunity to deeply understanding/owning oneself, getting to the heart of who we really are. This can be a very fulfilling, enriching, and humanistic task that is possible to complete.
