'...the man who is born into existence deals first with language; this is a given.
He is even caught in it before birth.' Lacan
What is Psychoanalysis?
You may have asked yourself:
What is it that I really want?
Why do I keep repeating unhealthy behaviours?
Why do I make unwise life choices?
Psychoanalysis is a form of talking cure invented by Sigmund Freud. Jacques Lacan, a French psychoanalyst developed the psychoanalytic theory further, incorporating elements from other fields of knowledge, such as Linguistics and Topology.
Psychoanalysis is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment to explore one's suffering. I will ask you about your life, your childhood memories, and your dreams. I will listen. Sessions are of variable length.
"The unconscious is structured like a language' Lacan
