Psychodynamic therapy addresses disconnection by providing a relationship in which the patient's internal experience matters. For someone who grew up in an environment where their feelings were irrelevant, the experience of having a therapist pay close, sustained attention to what they are feeling can be disorienting at first and gradually reparative. The therapeutic relationship models what connection feels like when the barrier is not in place, and that experience becomes the foundation for the patient to begin taking down the barrier in other relationships as well.
