Topics
女方:我们在一起八年,分开一年后,关系陷入负面循环最终分手,但我觉得很奇怪,因为我感觉找到了我的另一半。分开后,我尝试约会和治疗,但始终无法放下他。现在,我想探索复合的可能性,但我担心我们不够兼容,关系会一直很艰难。我渴望亲密关系,但他的回应方式让我感到被拒绝。我需要他理解我的需求,而不是一味地回避或反驳。 我感觉他总是试图让我不要难过,而不是理解我的需求。他有时会回避我的亲密举动,这让我感到被拒绝。在过去几年里,我主动维系着我们的关系,而他似乎没有意识到这一点。我希望他能主动表达爱意,而不是让我总是主动。 我的童年经历让我对亲密关系感到不安,我害怕因为表达需求而被拒绝。我希望找到一个能接受我,并和我建立良好连接的人。 男方:分开一年后再次见面,我感到既高兴又有些怨恨。我感觉她总是提出要求,让我感到压力。我试图解释我的行为,但方式不对,没有表达同理心。我害怕失去她,所以会保护自己,不敢冒险。 我理解她对亲密关系的需求,但有时我无法回应,因为我需要空间和时间。我试图解释我的行为,但没有表达同理心。我感觉她总是把她的需求放在首位,而没有考虑我的感受。 我的童年经历让我养成了固执的习惯,我总是试图保护自己的边界。我需要学习如何表达自己的需求,而不是被动地反应。 Esther Perel:这对情侣在一段八年关系结束后,又重新联系,他们面临着是否要复合的抉择,以及如何避免重蹈覆辙的问题。他们的沟通模式存在问题:一方提出问题,另一方则试图回避负面情绪,导致一方感到不被理解,另一方感到被批评。他们需要建立安全感,才能更好地面对挑战。想要改变对方,先改变自己。他们需要明确指出问题所在,例如亲密关系的差异。 男方在倾听时,关注的是事实是否正确,而不是理解女方的感受。他们需要互相理解,而不是互相评判。他们的问题在于对亲密关系的需求和满足程度的平衡。男方需要意识到女方的需求,而不是一味地拒绝。他们需要处理过去创伤的影响,才能建立健康的关系。他们需要创造一个新的故事,而不是修改旧的故事。他们需要承担责任,并学习如何更好地沟通。他们选择彼此,是因为彼此能帮助他们处理关系中的挑战。他们需要将过去的经验用于修复关系。
