Therapy and Analysis

            In our therapeutic approach, we recognize the uniqueness of each person's life trajectory that led them to seek psychological support. Below, we explore three foundations that guide our understanding of psychic functioning and guide the therapeutical process.

​

                1) The Nature of Unconscious Conflicts:

        We start from the principle that many of the deepest psychic problems originate from unconscious conflicts. Human functioning is composed of complex layers that often take time to fully understand and of which we are slow to become aware. These problems are not easily accessible because the mechanisms we develop to protect ourselves from pain also hinder the possibility of change. It is a process that requires time and patience to dismantle these barriers and allow for true inner transformation.

​

                  2) Behavioral Patterns and the Influence of the Past:

           Many of the coping mechanisms we use in adulthood are reactivations of mechanisms learned during childhood development. These behaviors were shaped by interactions with family members and other significant figures, possibly adapted at some point to satisfy fundamental emotional needs. However, such mechanisms can become dysfunctional, perpetuating patterns of suffering and restricting the flow of desire. Therapy offers the opportunity to deconstruct these pathological modes of operation, promoting new forms of contact and expression. An essential element for effective psychotherapy is the development of a unique therapeutic alliance, where discomfort can be confronted in a confidential and trusting environment.

                    3) The Uniqueness of Each Individual and Therapeutic Approaches:

         Each person is unique and, therefore, requires distinct therapeutic approaches. The therapeutic relationship must be uniquely constructed, adapted to the specific needs of each patient. The therapeutic process can include confrontations, metaphors, dreams, myths, mental images, among other tools, according to what is most appropriate for each case. Our approach is based on an ontological view of psychoanalysis, without dismissing the valuable contributions of other schools of thought that help explore the depths of the unconscious. Therefore, we use tools from Phenomenological Clinics, such as Gestalt Therapy, in addition to drawing inspiration from Freudian and Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
