Episode 49. This is the second part in this series about the most common or popular types of therapy. Psychodynamic is a form of talk therapy that came as a response to Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic approach, and some would say CBT (which we covered in our first part of the series) was a response to this. Psychodynamic is a present-oriented approach that focuses on your internal world and how you can resolve core issues to improve your experiences with the world and relationships.

Episode 47. Mental clarity is important to mental health and is correlated with having peace of mind. Mental clarity goes hand-in-hand with self-awareness: when you know yourself you can be clear about an important foundation in life, which can help you see the outside world clearly. Furthermore, when you know yourself, you can be honest and take responsibility for yourself - which helps you be honest and see the world around you for what it is.
