For context, I’m a therapist with 10 years experience and most of my work is with various types and levels of trauma. I have somatic training and am very attachment oriented. I want to expand and deepen further into the work so I am trying to follow threads that have sparked excitement and creative energy previously and one of those is psychoanalytic theory. Ultimately, I want to have additional ways of understanding my clients and their struggles and more ways of conceptualizing all the many things that make us who and how we are. I know there are many different types of podcasts available so wondering if anyone has recommendations based on some of this info. Thank you!

Does anyone have any feedback, insight on, or experience with the training institute Contemporary Freudian Society in Brooklyn, NY? I’m personally not looking into psychoanalytic training but very interested in seeing a practitioner myself. I have some acquaintances that have studied at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic studies (something along these lines) but hadn’t heard of this institute yet. Would love to hear any experiences either as a student, teacher, etc.

How does the analyst know if a patient is repeating patterns because of projective identification vs because they are particularly good substrate for others to put a specific projection onto them?

In general, how does one untangle the patient's projections onto others that subconsciously influence their behavior, from the projections of others due to their unconscious feelings?
