Hey Scott,
Because psychodynamic therapy, especially with a really good therapist, involves a strong and trust building bond, where the therapist is able to use their empathic abilities to help th patient draw on emotions, it is like no other form, and in my opinion, the only way to have a chance of healing th psyche-which may still be driving chemistry to some extent-and growing to love oneself the way they were supposed to. It is not easy, an most of the work is done with yourself outside of therapy sessions. Those that choose not to face the sadness and anger inside them, to the point where they can feel these deep inner emotions as they come to the surface, will not succeed. This is why so many do not go to therapy or drop out, it just is not easy to deal with our inner demons. Its one thing t understand them and be aware of them, but it's another to actually spend some time facing them and doing all the emotional work. These are intangible things, which may be another reason why people have such a difficult time understanding and dealing with them in a therapeutic manner.
