During my studies and clinical work, I found myself increasingly drawn to psychoanalysis, especially the Lacanian orientation. I believe it is an approach that respects the singularity of each person in an ethical way, and that does not rush to categorize, explain away, or “treat” what might instead carry meaning. Scientific research has increasingly validated the efficacy of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapies, consistently showing that they are as effective as other evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy.  A notable trend is that the benefits of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapies often persist and even increase after treatment has concluded, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the "sleeper effect". 

Within this framework, symptoms are not seen primarily as problems to be eliminated, but as expressions that call for careful listening. A kind of listening that pays attention to how something is said, what repeats, where language falters, what hesitates, and what remains unsaid. In this view, symptoms are not meaningless disturbances, but traces of something important, often shaped by unconscious processes and lived experience.

As I moved further into the field, I began to notice how psychological suffering is often approached today, particularly the strong emphasis on standardized treatments, symptom checklists, and measurable outcomes. While these approaches can be useful in certain contexts, I also noticed that something essential is often lost: the voice of the person, their own logic, and the way they make sense of their experience.

This led me to ask myself why so many people report feeling unheard in therapy, why psychological distress continues to rise, and why burnout is increasingly affecting both clients and mental health professionals. When care itself begins to exhaust those who provide it, it becomes necessary to reflect more broadly on how care is structured.

I have been fortunate to encounter professors and mentors who introduced me to psychoanalytic thinking and supported me in developing this orientation. Their openness to complexity and their refusal to reduce the human mind to simple explanations has left a lasting impression on me. I often return to their words when I encounter uncertainty in my clinical work, and I remain deeply grateful for the influence they have had on my professional path.

Over time, I developed a strong personal habit of writing about psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and clinical psychology. As my clinical experience grew, I also felt an increasing need to share some of these psychoanalytic ideas and reflections more openly, particularly those influenced by the Lacanian theory. I know that Lacanian psychoanalysis can initially feel abstract or difficult to access. For this reason, I try to express these ideas in a way that is accessible to anyone curious about the human mind.
