8 myths about psychoanalytic therapy*
(If they taught you any this in your training, your instructors didnât know what they were talking about. Sorry.)
âTherapist is largely silent
âTherapist is a stone-faced blank screen
âTherapist doesnât express opinions/judgments about what patient says
âTherapist never discloses their own emotional reactions
âTherapy is about repressed memories
âThe main focus is sex and aggression
âBreakthroughs happen in a dramatic emotional catharsis
âTherapies go on endlessly
Yes, these are myths. Every one of them. Iâm sorry if you believed whoever told you any of these things. Iâm especially sorry if they were people you looked up to.

Dangerous, reductive, jingoism. Young people have suffered enough through a global recession, the loss of the EU, a global pandemic, and now they want to throw them into training for war? They should throw themselves in and rid us of their stupidity.
When people claim trauma-informed practice leads to no rules, no consequences & total chaos, it can tell us where theyâre at. Some are stressed. Some misunderstand. Some are wary of change. Some are used to doing what was done to them. And some prefer to stick with fear and shame
