One’s desire and internal conflicts are explored, with an aim to ease anxieties and phobias, and in doing so uncovering one’s potentials. Slowly, step by step one’s world begins to change. Sounds good doesn’t it? It may even give us an impression that psychoanalysis is for everybody. Well, this is when one should really ask oneself whether she or he wants a change, whether one is ready to know the truth between the past and the present; does one truly want to have a better life?
