Everyone wants to change but so few succeed. Why is it so difficult to change? Why do so many people want to change to begin with? It seems to me that we live in a grumpy culture that does not encourage us to be the persons that we wish to become. Instead, we learn to fulfil the expectations of others but in the process we forget that life is also about joy, meaningful relationships, and simply about smiling.
Psychotherapy and Group-Therapy is something that each individual who wants to reach his or her higher potential should consider, whether your challenges are average or above. Being human is quite a journey, and especially in a culture that has forgotten what this even means, engaging in a therapeutic process will set you ahead of the crowd. Give your mind the emotional boost that it needs to deal with life. It does not have to be so overwhelming.
Psychotherapy Vienna 1100 in English offers you a place to talk about everything that troubles you deep inside. The mind is associated with language but underneath we still share the very same instincts like any other animal in nature. This is why "talking about it", being heard and understood help in integrating the mind with the rest of your personality. Until such integration happens, your mind will continue to struggle instead of using all the resources that you have.
To many people, dreams are nothing but nonesense produced by the brain in the night. But Freud realized that "Interpretation of dreams is the royal road to the unconscious." The brain that produces dreams while we are asleep, is the same brain that is active while we are awake. When the sun goes down and disappears in the night, we can see the stars that are invisible in the day, although they are of course out there all the time. In the same token, when consciousness "falls asleep", elements in the personality that exist also in the day, become visible in the night. And they impact our feelings and behaviors also when we are awake, which means that understanding our dreams is a prerequisite to understanding who we are.
"The
dream-elements are by no means mere representations, but true and actual experiences of the psyche,
similar to those which come to the waking state by way of the senses."
Sigmund Freud
If you dismiss the meaning of your dreams as 'nonsense', you are dismissing the aspects of who you are deep inside. But to be happy means to accept all aspects and not just those that make immediate sense and that conform to how
your parents or society would like you to be.
In the psychoanalytic psychotherapy, we give dreams and feelings more importance than what is given to them in daily life. They are the compass that guides our work. You
will see that dreams make sense. They are coming from the most creative parts of your psyche. The ability to understand your dreams will reduce the resistance of your mind towards the ideas that they represent, and this will give
you access to the creative power that your mind has learned to reject because of childish fears.
