Subjective time travel through one's past, present, and future is in itself a dynamic process that facilitates change. Psychopathology freezes the journey into defensively repetitive patterns. Psychodynamic psychotherapy promotes the thaw, often by updating memories and revising narrative interpretations to meet current and future circumstances. Consequently, the potential of subjective time travel to support adaptive change is established or restored within the lived present of the therapy sessions.
