"Chances push us left and right, and with them we build our destiny, because we are the ones who braid it as such. We make them our destiny because we speak. We think we say what we want, but it is what others have wanted, more specifically our family, which speaks to us" 
Joyce The Symptom.

Jacques Lacan

What's the difference between psychoanalysis and other treatments?

Psychoanalysis emphasizes the unconscious processes as a fundamental part of people's lives. Therein lies the root of what happens to each one of us and it is from there that suffering and discomfort take on different faces for each person. Psychoanalysis analyzes these unconscious processes without remaining on the surface of behaviors and thoughts. The human being, with its paradoxes, contradictions, passions, opinions and symptoms, is more complex but at the same time simpler than the reduction to the behavior-thought duo. It will be a matter, then, of each person who begins to psychoanalyze himself/herself to go into the deepest part of him/herself to create his/her own tools and face what he/she suffers from the root.


The psychoanalytic sessions

Psychoanalytic sessions are individual. The main working tool is the word of the person who requests an analysis so that, with the guidance of the analyst, he/she can discover, read and decipher his/her unconscious. From there the tools can be implemented to get out of painful, addictive, distressing, "toxic", repetitive situations, which occur in a loop and are not without the paradox pleasure / pleasure. But also of the difficulties of life as a couple, of loneliness - so present in our time - and of the twists and turns and discomforts that lie in the body. For psychoanalysis, beyond specializations, it is about how the life and suffering of the human being is woven and unwoven, about unraveling the misunderstandings that exist in the life of each one of us since even before our birth.
