People often find themselves repeating patterns they do not fully understand—remaining in unsatisfying relationships, struggling with self-criticism, feeling stuck despite their best efforts, or reacting in ways that seem at odds with what they consciously want.
Dr. Kathryn Rickard, Psy.D., is a psychoanalytic psychologist and author of The Psychoanalytic Anatomy of Surrender. Through psychoanalytic psychotherapy and free association—the process of speaking openly about whatever comes to mind—unexpected connections often emerge, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself, one’s relationships, and the obstacles that stand in the way of change.
As understanding deepens, new possibilities for living, relating, and experiencing life can begin to unfold.
