===Psychodynamic therapy===
According to the NIH, psychodynamic therapy focuses on how an individual’s present behavior is affected by past experiences and the unconscious processes.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Opland |first1=Caitlin |title=Psychodynamic Therapy |date=2024 |work=StatPearls |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK606117/ |access-date=2024-11-09 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=39163451 |last2=Torrico |first2=Tyler J.}}</ref> The main goal associated with psychodynamic therapy is internal reflection; for the patient to be able to understand more about their current behaviors after self-reflection and a critical analyzation of their past with their therapist. In order for this method of treatment to be effective, there must be a strong foundation of trust between the patient and their therapist. Often, psychodynamic therapy requires a large time investment, taking many years for considerable improvement and is not considered a quick solution.
