I know this is a personal question, but what are your current needs? What issues or discomforts would you like to address in psychotherapy?I have never tried psychoanalysis or psychodynamic psychotherapies, and really know nothing about them. Yes - Id Ego Superego. Peeling the onion. I know some of the fundamentals, but that doesn't substitute for actually trying these therapies in real life. Deep stuff.
Good luck.
