The Process

Modern Psychoanalysis is built on the groundbreaking work of Hyman Spotnitz. It's an evolution of traditional psychoanalytic methods, specifically designed to address complex emotional challenges often left unresolved in classical psychoanalysis. Modern psychoanalysis is an evolutionary approach that extends beyond classical psychoanalysis to resolve a wider range of emotional disturbances. It resonates with the unique challenges and mental structures of today's generations, offering meaningful conversations through techniques like the 'free association method' and 'listening with the third ear.' Engage in a therapeutic process tailored to identify and resolve underlying issues influencing your daily decisions and behaviors.

Key Benefits of Modern Psychoanalysis

  • Metabolize Difficult Emotions: Process and release built-up emotions with a strategic approach—utilize analytic techniques to break down and digest the more challenging emotions effectively.
