Psychodynamic Therapy | Psych Central

This link will do a better job than me. Essentially it is a process meant to give you more self-awareness and insight into the real motivations and drives behind your behaviors. You will try to make conscious some of the unconscious stuff you have going on, and look back to childhood where a lot of your personality was shaped. The T's job is to help you to accept all aspects of yourself without harsh self-criticism, so they should be supportive and accepting even if you admit to "bad" thoughts or behavior. Odds are high if you stick around long enough you will become attached to your therapist, and odds are high it will be difficult humiliating and embarrassing at times, if you can be honest with your therapist.
