Depth Psychology-oriented Psychotherapy
The Psychoanalysis, which was deduced from Depth Psychology-oriented Psychotherapy by Sigmund Freud, can help people
- learn to challenge fixations in Perception, Feeling, Thought and Behaviour acquired in early relations,
- to recognize their resistance toward change as a transfer of their defense reactions of the past, into the present,
- engage in the healing relationship with the therapist, allowing new experiences which lead to expansion of one's limited view of the world and one's self.

It may be that we endorse sorrow and that we take assume the guilt of other family members and adopt it as our own.
