女听众:作为一名变性女性,她渴望拥有孩子,但伴侣尚未准备好,她担心伴侣的犹豫会影响她自己的未来幸福。她之前一段关系中扮演继母的角色,最终离婚并失去与孩子的联系,这段经历让她对建立家庭和拥有孩子更加渴望,也更加害怕再次失去。她与伴侣的关系很好,但她渴望拥有孩子,而伴侣对此犹豫不决,这让她感到矛盾和压力,她既想尊重伴侣的决定,又不想牺牲自己的愿望。她考虑过多种可能性,包括等待伴侣的决定、与其他人共同抚养孩子、或者与伴侣分开,但她担心这些选择会影响她与伴侣的关系,也担心再次将自己的幸福寄托在他人身上。她希望在不给伴侣施压的情况下,表达自己对孩子的渴望,并避免再次将自己的幸福寄托在他人身上。 Esther Perel:她引导听众思考“拥有孩子”的多种含义,包括生物学联系、养育方式等,并指出听众对收养的抗拒可能源于对自身育儿能力的担忧。她提出几种可能性:等待伴侣的决定、与其他人共同抚养孩子、或者与伴侣分开。她指出,关于组建家庭的对话可能演变成权力斗争,建议双方需要更清晰地表达各自的想法和界限。她肯定了女听众的愿望,并指出她从之前的经历中获得了宝贵的经验和认识。她指出,双方可能已经陷入两极分化,女听众需要学习如何表达自己的愿望,而不让伴侣感到压力。她建议女听众在夫妻咨询中关注双方互动模式,而非仅仅是生育问题本身。她建议女听众以好奇的态度与伴侣沟通,了解伴侣的想法和顾虑,并帮助伴侣理清自身的想法。她总结道,双方需要在沟通方式上做出调整,关注关系的互动模式,而非仅仅是生育话题本身。
