Psychoanalyst Madrid
Psychoanalyst in Madrid. Welcome to the office of Charles E. Baekeland, a psychologist-psychoanalyst in Madrid. The psychoanalyst's job is to help the patient, within the framework of the most intensive and ambitious therapeutic work that exists, to carefully discover the unconscious roots of his or her difficulties in all their complexity and thus to free him or herself from them.

Indication
The therapeutic recommendation for psychoanalysis will be carefully assessed by the psychoanalyst during the assessment interviews between the patient and the practitioner on the basis of a range of patient variables and the interaction between the psychoanalyst and the patient. Psychoanalysis is not recommended for everyone and requires a certain degree of basic emotional strength and flexibility.
Development of Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis usually takes place three, four or five times a week for some years; the patient lies on the couch, and the psychoanalyst sits behind, out of sight. This highly specialised setting - lying down, not seeing the psychoanalyst, high frequency of sessions - provides the best conditions for the patient to have an intense and nuanced contact with his or her inner world. The aim is for the therapeutic work to go as deep as possible, and to reach the least known strata of the unconscious.
Navigating the depths of the unconscious
In the therapeutic process, patient and psychoanalyst work together to unravel the complexities of the unconscious. The high frequency of sessions and the arrangement of the patient on the couch, without seeing the therapist, create a highly specialised setting that encourages deep immersion in one's own inner world.
Challenging resistance and facilitating self-exploration
Psychoanalysis, unlike other forms of therapy, seeks to explore the lesser known layers of the unconscious. During sessions, the patient has the opportunity to explore their innermost thoughts, allowing hidden aspects of their mind to emerge. This gradual and methodical process seeks to achieve a deep understanding of the underlying causes of conflicts and behavioural patterns.
Building trust in open dialogue
The relationship between patient and psychoanalyst is built on mutual trust and open dialogue. As the treatment unfolds, the therapist helps the patient to recognise recurring patterns, challenging resistance and facilitating self-exploration.
Gradual and lasting transformation
It is essential to note that psychoanalysis is not a quick fix; rather, it is a long-term commitment that requires dedication and patience. However, it is in this length and depth that its transformative power lies. The changes, though gradual, can be profound and long-lasting, giving the individual a fuller understanding of themselves and their relationships.
A journey towards self-knowledge
Psychoanalysis offers a space for self-knowledge and personal transformation. Through a methodical and profound process, the unconscious roots of difficulties are explored, allowing the patient to free themselves from limiting patterns. This unique therapeutic approach, based on trust and openness, is not for everyone, but for those seeking a deep journey towards self-knowledge, it can be a valuable tool.
Making informed decisions
When considering psychoanalysis in Madrid, as elsewhere in the world, it is essential to understand that each individual is unique and that the decision to embark on this journey must be made carefully. The initial assessment with the psychoanalyst is essential to determine suitability and set realistic expectations.
