What is psychoanalysis?

  Psychoanalysis is a very deep discipline that is difficult to explain briefly.  The process of psychoanalysis is like a journey that the doctor and the patient take together, and the destination of this journey is the goal that the patient hopes to achieve at the beginning. However, on the way to the destination, the patient will gain much more than the initial goal, because he can see more unexpected scenery, or he may change his original destination because he sees a different scenery along the way. If this treatment goal is likened to the relief of symptoms and the cure of the disease, then these unexpected gains include the refinement of every aspect of your entire personality. And in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, personality is the foundation, and the reason why there are recurrent episodes is that although the symptoms can be relieved by medication, the personality foundation is not changed. And as we know, personality change is difficult, and psychoanalysis is a treatment method that can help a person understand himself better and perfect himself. This kind of treatment, in the words of our traditional Chinese medicine, can treat both the symptoms and the root cause. Of course, it takes a longer process to go from treating the symptoms to curing the root cause.  Before this trip begins, the doctor and the patient need to agree on a time to meet, the frequency of the meeting, and of course, most importantly, a face-to-face consultation. However, unlike a trip between friends, it is up to the patient to choose which doctor will be his or her travel companion, and it is important to choose a doctor you can trust. Because the guide for this trip is the subconscious mind, when the patient feels safe enough, his subconscious mind can better function as a guide to reach the destination as soon as possible.
