Psychoanalysis, which started with Sigmund Freud, continues to be popular today, with a continuous evolution and development. Psychoanalysis, which is a teaching of psychology and aims to find and reveal the designs, desires and complexities that remain unconscious in the depths of the soul, thus relieving their uneasy and disturbing pressures on the soul, is described as "spiritual analysis". In psychoanalysis, unconscious conflicts and motivations, which are considered the source of people's harmonious or maladaptive behaviors, are investigated and tried to be resolved by bringing them to consciousness.
PSYCANALIST AND ANALYZER…
Psychoanalytical applications are used with great success to cope with the inevitable failures, contradictions and disappointments in life. In these practices, the person who performs psychoanalysis is called "psychoanalyst" and the person who undergoes his analysis is called "analysand". During the analysis process, the psychoanalyst does not reveal his identity and personality very clearly, creates a safe environment, remains impartial and tries not to satisfy the childish wishes and needs of the analysand.
THE MEETINGS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK…
Psychoanalysis Meetings are held at least 3 times a week. During the sessions, the analysand lies on the couch. The psychoanalyst usually sits somewhere behind the analysand, out of his line of sight. In sessions lasting 45 minutes, the analysand describes what is going on in his mind as "free association" without any limitations, censoring or hiding. These associations, dreams, hopes, wishes and fantasies become the subject of interest as memories of past family life and constitute the study materials of psychoanalysis. The psychoanalyst and analysand work together on what emerges in these associations. In this process, the psychoanalyst generally listens and tries to increase the analysand's awareness with techniques called "clarification, confrontation and interpretation" only when professional judgment is required, that is, when the opportunity to awaken insight is found. According to the model he envisions, the human mind consists of conscious, semi-conscious and unconscious layers. That's why psycho aliz primarily aims to remember what has been experienced throughout life but has been pushed into the unconscious.
Because a significant part of psychological problems arise from internal psychological conflicts in the unconscious. As the analysand talks with free association on the couch, certain associations that begin to appear in the semi-consciousness begin to attract attention, as well as the thoughts, feelings and images coming from the conscious layer. By conducting numerous and frequent sessions in a row, the unconscious expresses itself through these associations, which are derivatives of those kept in the unconscious. Over time, the analysand becomes aware of the conflicts he has kept in his unconscious and their connection with the problems of resorting to psychoanalysis. With these recollections and awareness, the analysand discovers what is going on in his inner world, begins to see how these cause the events, relationships, recurring problems and situations he cannot get out of in his life, and gains insight. Those kept in the unconscious by unconscious defense mechanisms are brought to consciousness. In addition, the analysand begins to gain greater control over the memories, thoughts and emotions of which he is partially aware but cannot fully control. Studying awareness in multiple and repetitive ways in the analysis room is called "working in depth". In this process, it is ensured that what is learned intellectually turns into emotional learning and becomes continuous and spontaneous. As the thoughts, feelings and fantasies that emerge and are expressed are analyzed, internal psychic conflicts ease, are resolved over time, and the analysand takes control of his own life. In addition, the analysand, who accepts his own limits, weaknesses and nature, as well as his realistic power and possibilities in the world, becomes spiritually free by assuming the consequences and responsibility of his choices.
