ELI5 mode

A psychoanalyst is a trained specialist who uses psychoanalytic techniques, pioneered by Sigmund Freud, to delve into a patient's unconscious mind and resolve deep psychological conflicts. This role often involves interpreting dreams, free associations, and transference to foster self-awareness and emotional healing, though modern practitioners might blend it with other therapies for a more holistic approach.
