Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a way of talking to someone that helps them understand why they feel certain emotions and why they act certain ways. A psychoanalyst helps you figure out what might be causing your emotions or behaviors. This can be very helpful if you're having a hard time understanding why you feel sad or angry, or if you are doing things that you don't like. The psychoanalyst will ask you questions and will listen to what you have to say. By talking about your thoughts and feelings, you can learn more about yourself and how to better manage your emotions and behavior.
