Personal Analysis

A personal psychoanalysis can be an extraordinary learning experience for any mental health professional. It not only offers unique insights into your own internal world, but is also invaluable for exploring your reactions to work with patients.

If you are uncertain about whether or not you may someday wish to obtain formal analytic training, entering your own personal psychoanalysis can often inform that decision by enabling you to experience what is, for many, the central element of their training.
