psychoanalysed
Underwent deep therapy
Psychoanalysed is the British English spelling of the past tense and past participle of psychoanalyse, meaning to treat or examine someone using psychoanalysis—the therapeutic method developed by Sigmund Freud that explores unconscious thoughts, childhood experiences, and repressed emotions.
Outside clinical settings, the word often carries a dismissive or mocking tone: Stop psychoanalysing me—I just don't like olives.
