| Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that we suffer emotionally because of inner tension between different aspects of ourselves. On the one hand, we have powerful needs and impulses, and on the other hand we have rules to follow and expectations to live up to. The conflict comes when the “I” in the middle (You!) has to figure out some way of fulfilling its needs, but in a way that feels acceptable socially and morally. | Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that we suffer emotionally because of inner tension between different aspects of ourselves.
