A Sneak Peek Inside the Course
We’re excited to share a short preview of the first video in the course so you can experience the teaching style for yourself. This opening session sets the stage for what makes therapy “psychoanalytic” and introduces the guiding principles that will shape the rest of the training.
Are you a therapist looking to deepen your clinical skills, sharpen your understanding of psychoanalysis, and bring more depth and insight into your sessions? Our psychoanalytic therapy training course was designed with you in mind. Whether you are new to psychoanalysis or an experienced clinician who wants to revisit the fundamentals, this course walks you through the most essential building blocks of psychoanalytic practice—while always keeping an eye on how to apply them in real, everyday clinical work.
Why Psychoanalytic Therapy Still Matters Today
Psychoanalytic therapy offers more than just insight into the unconscious—it provides a framework for understanding how past relationships shape present struggles, how unconscious patterns repeat in our lives, and how the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a powerful tool for healing. Even in today’s world of brief therapy models, the psychoanalytic lens helps therapists see beneath the surface and work with the deeper roots of a client’s distress.
This course is designed to give you a clear, practical, and clinically relevant guide to those deeper dimensions.
What This Course Covers
Over the span of the training, you’ll gain exposure to the following essential areas:
- What Makes Therapy Psychoanalytic – Learn what truly sets psychoanalytic therapy apart from other modalities.
- How to Begin Treatment – Step-by-step guidance on establishing the therapeutic frame and building a strong foundation.
- Object Relations Theory – Understand how early relationships influence adult dynamics and pathology.
- Bion’s Theory of Containment – Discover how the therapist’s role as a container helps transform unprocessed emotional experiences into thoughts.
- Transference/Countertransference Dynamics – Grasp how unconscious dynamics emerge in the therapeutic relationship.
- How to Use Countertransference Constructively – Learn to use your own emotional responses as powerful clinical data.
- Neurotic, Borderline, and Psychotic Levels of Functioning – Differentiate levels of psychological structure to guide your interventions.
- Self Psychology and Narcissistic Vulnerabilities – Explore how self psychology informs work with fragile self-esteem and relational wounds.
- Common Countertransference Reactions – Recognize and make sense of the feelings evoked by challenging clinical encounters.
- Working with Resistance – Develop practical strategies for navigating and using resistance in the therapeutic process.
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
- Therapists, counselors, and psychologists who want a solid foundation in psychoanalytic therapy.
- Students and early-career clinicians looking for an accessible introduction to core analytic concepts.
- Experienced clinicians who want to refresh their knowledge and gain new insights into applying theory to practice.
Why This Course Stands Out
Unlike dense textbooks or purely theoretical lectures, this course is grounded in clinical practice. Each concept is broken down in clear language, with examples that show you how to apply these insights in real therapy sessions. You won’t just learn theory—you’ll see how it comes alive in the therapy room.
