Breaking an unhealthy relationship pattern is not the same as understanding it. Many people can describe their pattern with precision and still find themselves repeating it. The gap between intellectual understanding and behavioral change is where psychodynamic therapy operates. By working within the therapeutic relationship over time, the patient has the opportunity to experience a relational dynamic that is different from the one their internal template predicts. That experience, accumulated over months of consistent work, is what begins to loosen the template's hold.
Dr. David Steinbok provides psychodynamic psychotherapy from his Boca Raton, Florida office, serving adults throughout the Delray Beach area. His practice is private-pay, with monthly documentation provided for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. The office has no receptionist, and confidentiality is a central feature of the practice.
