English
| Português Have you found yourself not knowing how to navigate a situation and suffering because of that? Have you tried "everything," but are still feeling trapped and immersed in psych suffering, which can manifest itself as isolation, self-criticism, hopelessness, worry, fear, dissatisfaction, interpersonal conflicts, mood changes, dissociation from reality, a sense of being persecuted, and so on? Have you wondered whether some of the issues you have dealt with - for instance, being incapable of doing things or repeatedly making bad choices - might tell something about your subjective dilemmas? This is the moment to make analysis.
My practice is oriented by the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan, who took the steps of Freud. Speaking or playing in the case of children are not only ways of communicating but mostly ways of acting. You say much more than you think, for instance, through dreams and symptoms, and listening to it creates a type of knowledge that mobilizes affects and the body.
Throughout this process, you make things happen rather than keep waiting for life to move to accommodate your needs. That happens as you become oriented by your desire, which drives you into action and calls you to take responsibility for those actions. As a result, you will recover the freedom once stolen by the psychic suffering and find new ways of living
