“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.”-Emile Zola
Psychoanalytic work is a journey or an emerging 'atelier' taken by two people – the therapist and the patient. The therapist acts as a guide on the patient’s trip of self exploration. One crucial aspect of this journey is the motivation of both parties.
By understanding how echoes of the past influence the present, we are provided with opportunities to resolve crippling conflicts and make new choices. Such insights also produce a sense of mastery over one's difficulties.

Psychoanalytical psychotherapy provides a methodical way of looking inside oneself. This does not mean that the ‘outside’ is not important – but when we look carefully, we begin to see that much of our external world is deeply
affected by what we have experienced in the past. For instance, someone who has experienced abandonment in childhood (loss, lack of attention, divorced parents) will often grow up with degrees of wariness about making new attachments, new relationships.

"The nicest thing about the promise of spring is that sooner or later she’ll have to keep it.”-Mark Beltaire
Symptoms, anxieties, inhibitions, depression/sadness, all have roots. As those roots are recognized and tended, new growth becomes possible. Although psychoanalytic work is not a quick fix, most people feel better once they begin the process.
After all, it is a unique experience to tell someone their deepest and often surprising thoughts, knowing they will be accepted in a confidential environment.
