Rach, if it's 3 times a week, it's most likely psychodynamic/analytic based psychotherapy.
Which is, as I said, what I'm in.
Basically, it's about understanding the internal thought processes/dynamics in your mind and how you relate with people and yourself now, based on your past experience of yourself in relationships. I'd say, simply, it's about learning to relate with yourself better.
It's a good kind of therapy for people who're reflective and creative. It helps if you already have a good degree of insight into what's going on in your mind and feelings.
It's hard work, but worth it. It's not a 'quick fix' but nor should any therapy be, because the aim is to build solid and secure foundations in your self perception, untangling the places where it's shaky and making things more real and true to you. It's thorough, and deep work.
