This sounds like good therapy. The concern with psychodyanamic/psychoanalytic, I think, is that it looks at the ego/id/superego as the source of identity, and events are interpreted in terms of the subconscious. I hope I have that right....maybe I'm off-base on that? So, the problem with that is the location of "conflict within the self" within that construct is that it does locate "issues" within in conflicts. That would be so helpful for abuse situations, when so much is sublimated and made unconscious. The cognitive/behavior group are going after what is in the subconscious--things we can choose to remember. For borderlines, the trend in treatment toward focusing on the conscious and the subconscious seems to be because we improve the more responsible we become for our actions and attitudes--learning to slow down our reactioins so that we have time to make a choice instead of being swept away in our emotions. Also, there's that tricky issues about the brain abnormalities....but, hard saying where those came from--right! I mean, they could have developed because of early psychodynamics, not before them....
I think it is very interesting to try to get to the unconscious, because I am very interested in subtle interpretations. I like the idea as an adjunct to my main therapy, but I'm often wrong in my interpretations myself, and my therapist has been known to be wrong upon occasion as well. I wish there were time to try all the schools. I am certain they all have something to offer. Right now, I glom onto what I can do that gets me past the extreme pain. In the lulls, though, I love thinking about what things might mean and I love insights that come from the contemplation of a much larger picture than the current events of my life--the contemplation of what it is to be human in this culture.
