When it comes to psychotherapy, people often associate it with doing mental work, talking, persuading, guiding, lecturing, preaching, and some even think that psychotherapy is sitting with a psychiatrist and talking about big things. In fact, these are all misconceptions people have about psychotherapy, and real psychotherapy is very different from these misconceptions. Real psychotherapy does not give instructions or lectures, because that would mean that the psychologist is more correct than the visitor, and that the visitor just lacks a key to solve the doubts, and everything will be fine if he or she gets the key from the psychologist. Clinical practice tells us that the visitor is not inferior to the psychiatrist in terms of life’s principles or courage to overcome life’s difficulties; his problem is not that he does not understand a certain truth or does not have the ability, but that there is an invisible emotional force inside him that prevents him from exercising his ability. The task of psychotherapy is to help the visitor to discover this invisible emotional force, to discover its context, to understand the connection between it and his problems, and ultimately to eliminate them. But as the therapy progresses, the communication between the psychiatrist and the client shifts from the word level to the emotional level, and then the invisible and unseen emotional problems and conflicts that are buried in the client’s heart when interacting with other people are brought to life between the two of them through empathy and are brought back to the psychiatrist and the patient. The so-called psychological problems inside the head The so-called psychological problems in the mind become visible and tangible. At this point, the psychologist’s personality helps to stimulate and encourage the patient’s potential, giving him the courage to reproduce his problems; the psychologist’s theories about human nature and psychotherapy techniques help to inspire the patient to understand and comprehend his own complexes and problems. In this subtle process, the patient’s psyche gains growth, his psychological developmental defects are corrected, the undercurrents that prevent him from living a normal life are gradually eliminated, and his psychological disorders are unconsciously recovered. This is how psychotherapy is carried out. How is psychoanalytic psychotherapy conducted? The main reason why psychoanalytic therapy works is the following two major discoveries about human nature: one major discovery is the “principle of compulsive repetition”, that is, every person with a childhood psychological developmental defect will unconsciously and compulsively regress to the psychological developmental stage where he or she suffered a setback, reproduce in reality the childhood traumas and experiences, repeating the painful complexes and relationships of childhood. For example, a man with an Oedipal complex who has not completed the Oedipal stage will constantly constitute a substantial psychological Oedipal relationship with a woman, and the pattern and content of the relationship will be strikingly similar to that of the mother-child relationship in childhood. This is similar to the way a person will keep opening the gauze over a wound, which is actually an instinctive attempt to heal childhood wounds, but this effort will always end in failure, similar to the results of childhood efforts, and as a result, the failure will inspire the next effort, and so on and so forth, forming a compulsive repetition. This compulsive repetition is the most essential characteristic of all psychological disorders and a major characteristic of human nature. The second major discovery is the phenomenon of “empathy”, which is attached to the “principle of compulsive repetition”, that is, the most important element of compulsive repetition is the repetition of childhood relationships, and psychology calls this compulsive repetition of childhood relationships “empathy”. It means that a person will be driven by the principle of compulsive repetition to reproduce in reality the patterns of relationships with parents formed in childhood. For example, a boy who grew up with his mother and had little contact with his father will habitually find women more approachable and, more easily, form closer relationships with women, especially older women who are more similar in personality to his mother. This is because this is the pattern of emotions that the person had as a child, and when the person takes this particular pattern formed with his mother and uses it to relate to other women, we can say that empathy has occurred. In fact, the phenomenon of empathy is ubiquitous and, broadly speaking, all human emotions have their origin in empathy. It is only the empathy of the psychologically disturbed person that is based on a distorted pattern of relationships. If we acknowledge the existence of the “compulsive repetition principle” and the “empathy phenomenon,” it is easier to understand how psychoanalytic therapy works. It can be said that psychoanalytic therapy is developed and carried out on the basis of the “empathy phenomenon”, and psychotherapy without empathy and counter-empathy is definitely not psychoanalytic therapy. Noticing empathy, analyzing empathy, and clarifying empathy are the core tasks of psychoanalytic therapy. In other words, the moment a person meets with another person, he or she decides which person in front of him or her is similar to the person he or she has experienced in the past, and then uses that similar interpersonal pattern for empathy. For example, a patient who talks to the doctor endlessly and repeatedly asks for all kinds of assurances is usually a person with a severe dependency, mother-infant, or symbiotic type of empathy. A patient who is very punctual, who closes the door carefully, and who talks to the doctor in a dignified and unemotional manner is a “non-relational” empath. As long as the patient and the psychoanalyst spend a certain amount of time together, the patient will empathize with the psychoanalyst by transferring the relationship patterns he or she formed during childhood, and the patient’s complexes and problems will come to life between the psychoanalyst and the patient. If the psychological clinic is compared to a psychological operating room, then empathy can be compared to the process of exposing the lesion on the operating table. For example, a person who came to the clinic for insomnia, after a period of psychoanalysis, told her doctor that she could not sleep every day now because she was worried that the doctor did not like her. After further analysis, she realized that she was particularly insecure because she lacked her mother’s affirmation of herself as a child, and this lack of security led to severe anxiety, which caused severe insomnia. She brought this childhood feeling and relationship pattern into her relationship with the psychoanalyst, transferring her fears about her mother not liking her to the doctor. In this way, invisible, unseen, subconscious levels of psychological conflicts and complexes are brought to life by way of empathy. As long as this pattern of empathy is corrected in the psychoanalytic process, her psychological disorder can be completely cured. The emergence of empathy is only the first step in psychoanalytic treatment; subsequently, these processes of interpretation, clarification, and revision must be followed to truly complete the psychoanalytic treatment. In the process of empathy, she may unconsciously project some positive or negative characteristics of her two parents onto the psychiatrist, as if the doctor is really psychologically the same as her two parents, and she will love or hate the psychoanalyst in the same way as she loves or hates her two parents. However, the psychoanalyst is actually another person, a person with a healthy and complete personality without the obvious flaws in the patient’s parents. In this empathic relationship, the doctor acts more as a screen and a container, a “screen” for staging the patient’s childhood experiences and feelings, and a “container” for unconditionally accepting and hosting all the emotional content of the patient’s past and present. The “screen” is used to stage the patient’s childhood experiences and feelings, and the “container” is used to unconditionally accept and host all the emotional content of the patient’s past and present. Gradually, with the passage of time, the patient will discover that the “movie” is only a magnified and distorted fragment of the past, which is not the same as the reality of the “screen”; the doctor’s unconditional acceptance and accommodation of the patient gives the patient the opportunity and ability to The doctor’s unconditional acceptance and accommodation of the patient gives the patient the opportunity and ability to face up to and clarify the difference between empathy and reality; and with the help of the doctor’s “mirroring” and “modeling” role, the patient’s personality pattern is fundamentally reversed. The memories and experiences of the past no longer affect the patient, but the new interpersonal patterns established with the psychoanalyst are internalized into the patient’s subconscious and become a core part of his personality. At this point, his subconscious mind is repaired and the psychoanalysis is completed. The above description of psychoanalysis can only be considered as a cartoonish description. In fact, the process of psychoanalysis is much more complicated than what is described. Because the psychoanalytic process must struggle with the inertia and resistance from the patient to maintain the old patterns, the whole process is a kind of tug-of-war, spiral, two steps forward and one step back. It is difficult to describe the sweetness and sourness of the process, which can only be experienced by those who are in the midst of psychoanalysis. The frequency of psychoanalysis ranges from 1 – 5 hours per week, usually 1-2 hours/week, and most can be completed within a treatment length of between 100 – 300 hours, and individually, even thousands of hours. Psychoanalysis must be done at an agreed upon time and frequency, and this setting, in itself, is one of the important elements for the treatment to work, because the relationship between continuity and constancy is a key factor for the treatment to work. A psychoanalysis with poor continuity means a poor prognosis. The patient can lie in bed or sit inside a chair. They can freely associate, analyze their dreams, discuss impedance or empathy, and sometimes talk about sex, but they can also stay silent until the end. The whole atmosphere is very free and casual, but of course, sometimes there are moments of tension, which usually means that there is negative empathy, and these moments are also the most critical moments of treatment. This is the most critical moment in the treatment. The depth of the treatment, the strength of the psychoanalyst, and the seriousness of the psychological disorder are all revealed at this stage. In short, there is no fixed external form of psychoanalytic treatment. What is important is that the subconscious personality of the patient quietly undergoes a beneficial change under the subtle influence and “catalyst” of the psychoanalyst’s personality.
