For me, two things with practical implications stand out that I relate to psychodynamic therapy. One is a reduction in some of my obsessive tendencies as, I think, a result of infusing my therapy with them but not being reinforced by the therapist. It's a form of extinction training (this is the mechanism, I think, so it does have behavioral training elements but not achieved via the "B type" approaches) that was quite uncomfortable in the beginning but I don't experience the same kinds of strong urges and uneasiness now. I attribute this to how my current therapist handles it, the first actually made it worst by engaging in a very messy way. So this is not as simple as talking to the T since an important element is that he won't respond to me in certain situations.

Another one is experiencing with him what I regard as good professionalism. I draw from his way of dealing with things and apply in my own interactions with others, mostly related to work. I am more satisfied with my professional interactions and so feel that my anxiety related to work is reduced somewhat.

My two main original goals when entering therapy with him was working on my obsessive/addictive issues and anxiety, so I am quite happy about the result. It has not been linear though and still remains to be seen how stable.
