PSYCHOANALYSIS is a 'subjective analytic' method:
Practiced through 'talk therapy' sessions, it analyses the personal, individual (subjective) mindset and influences that drive you, your thoughts and your behaviour.
PSYCHOANALYSIS explains the human psyche as an interaction of three components:
But when some of these "internal conflicts" are not well resolved, it creates psychological symptoms in our life (like stress, anxiety, depression, or any type of neurosis), as the result of an emotional imbalance and repressed feelings.
The Psychoanalyst helps you to find out what are the unconscious factors that create the tensions in your mind, in order to bring them forward to your awareness: then you'll have a more self-aware, conscious and powerful Ego to make better choices in your life, and clear off the repressed feelings that caused anxiety.
The more conscious you'll become through Psychoanalysis, the less you'll be a victim of unconscious, invisible influences, that some call "Fate", and the more easily you'll reach your true goals instead.

PSYCHOANALYSIS explains the human psyche as an interaction of three components:
- "ID" (from Latin: it/this) is the influence of our instinctive drives and desires, our primitive, subconscious human needs;
- the "SUPER-EGO" (from Latin: above/over Me) is the cultural influence of rules, subconscious ideals and values we've integrated, from society and from our parental upbringing;
- and the "EGO" (Latin: I /Me) is the pragmatic mediator that composes with the two others, to think and make decisions in reality. As our conscious "pilote", the EGO constantly has to compromise between what we feel we want ("ID"/desires), and what we believe we should do ("SUPER-EGO"/rules).
But when some of these "internal conflicts" are not well resolved, it creates psychological symptoms in our life (like stress, anxiety, depression, or any type of neurosis), as the result of an emotional imbalance and repressed feelings.

Cognition (from Latin: cognitio = I know, I get to know, I perceive...) is the process of knowledge, the way we learn, think and process ideas.
COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY analyses the construction of our ideas, the process of our thoughts and feelings, the logic of our reasoning. It explains that each one us has built their own (personal) system of interpretations and knowledge, based on one's individual experience, to perceive/understand oneself and the world around. Thus our thoughts are often subjective (relative), and don't necessarily correspond to an objective truth.
When some of your repetitive thoughts or feelings appear to be particularly negative and cause troubles in your life (ex: anxiety, depression, negative voices, self-doubt, self-hate, obsession, fears, insecurities, trust issues, etc), COGNITIVE THERAPY will focus on rationally analyse your thoughts mechanism and patterns. As an 'objective analytical' therapy method, it will evaluate the dysfunctional systems of thoughts you've unconsciously elaborated (maladaptive schemas), that create "negative bias" on your experience of reality.
Then with many instructive methods and exercises, it will help you to stop the wrong reasoning, the negative chains of thoughts, and replace them with more logic and accurate perceptions, that will lead to more positive results in your life.

BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY explains that our behaviours (the things we do, the ways we act in our life) express as the results of a conditioning: since our younger age, we've been facing individual experiences, and have unconsciously made a subjective interpretation of them, that orientated us to react and respond to them in one particular way.
And by repeating the practice of those responses to any similar situation throughout our life, we've reinforced the pattern, and fixed it as a natural behaviour.
So, when 1 behaviour causes troubles in your life now (ex: a compulsive addiction, OCD, smoking, drinking, drugs, anger problems, jealousy, love or sex addiction, social phobia, any particular fear, etc), BEHAVIORAL THERAPY helps you to identify, analyse and understand the complete construction, the function and the process of this behaviour, with 2 goals: de-condition the maladaptive pattern that triggers negative effects in your life, and implement instead a new alternative response, that will bring you positive effects.
The therapy helps you to un-learn the negative behaviour, and re-learn a new positive behaviour to substitute.
Like a "re-programming" of your software, with new updates to fix the bugs!
It is an 'objective analytic' therapy method: we focus on the behaviour as the object of the therapy, with a rational analysis and practical methods, to bring effective solutions to your problem.
