From my understanding, psychoanalytical and psychodynamic are used pretty much interchangeably.

I came here to say that I’m the one who posted about how wrong psychodynamic can go. I would say if you’re feeling like the therapy is hard to tolerate and you’re getting worse, it might be time to look elsewhere. I understand that’s complicated by the NHS situation, but as stated above, no therapy for a period of time might be better than bad therapy. Maybe you could also consider switching to another psychoanalytical provider that might be more skilled/equipped to help you.
