What is the roll of the Analyst?
To facilitate the "journey" of the individual
by supporting and challenging her/him into greater self-awareness,
and a fuller relationship to life. This involves looking
at whatever comes up in a session- dreams, memories,
feelings, images etc. and reflecting on their meaning.
There is an emphasis on applying this to current life
issues. The person in analysis can choose to either
sit in a chair or lie on a couch (this can help in exploring
deeper areas of the psyche).
How long are sessions, and how many a week?
The analytic hour is 50 minutes. Frequency
of sessions varies from once-weekly upwards depending
on individual need. To work more deeply, more frequent
sessions are recommended.
There is a standard fee but the circumstances of individuals
can be taken into consideration
