The Relevance of Freud in Psychodynamic Counseling

Psychodynamic means that it's rooted in sigmund Freud, but a lot of a lot of people are like, Freud is old news and not relevant anymore. What I find particularly helpful about psychodynamic way of thinking or conceptualizing psychology or the psyche is how they start to shape our view of the world. So much of our relationships with ourselves, with food, with other people are driven by unconscious processes. We very, very, very rarely are thinking about our behaviors and making decisions in a very rational, deliberate, very cognitive conscious way.
