The life of an individual can undergo stressful times due to family, relationship or broken hear pains leading to emotional breakdown. Contemporary psychoanalysis is the part of psychoanalysis that helps you understand your emotional breakdown. It is a new and modern therapy.

You can't talk about psychoanalysis and not mention Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. But since his studies the field has changed over the years with new advancements from other scholars and researchers on this field. The new psychoanalysis tries to help a person to rediscover himself to enhance emotional growth. It also helps those suffering emotional breakdown to undergo a healing process and also develop a better interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship

The unique nature of the different subjective experiences of different people is given much importance in this field. It is an improvement of the traditional psychoanalysis fields where the analyst's perspective was what mattered. The journey encompasses working together of the analyst, the client and any other person to improve the life of the client. It is a combination of thoughts and ideas from all to help the client.

Importance is given to the personal experiences and perspectives of the individual seeking healing. These experiences, which are usually unique and most times subjective, give an idea of the purpose of the life of the individual. The analyst does not dictate what the client is to do as is the norm with traditional psychoanalysis.

A combination of approaches is then used to give the client the best healing process. The fact that the process takes into consideration all the different aspects of life and makes use of both the present and past experiences, make it an all-inclusive field. This gives better effects and the healing process will be a journey with no turning back.

Some analysts also provide written materials or videos for their clients to help them. These contain advice on how to manage several aspects of their life. It may also cover topics like how to pull through out of emotionally draining experiences. The material is helpful in cases where the client cannot make frequent sessions or just to add onto the knowledge gained from consultation sessions.

There are other materials provided by some analyst to enable a faster healing process. Books and videos offering advice and the different ways of dealing with certain issues may be offered for the benefit of the client. These materials are also important to clients who only manage very few hours of sessions due to busy schedules or to emphasize on the lessons learnt from the personal sessions.

Modern psychoanalysis helps you to overcome those situations which distress you for long times and be optimistic again about life. An expert will make your burden lesser and lesser and at the end you fully recover. You should not dwell on depression.
