Topics
Adam Nisenson: 我在书中探讨了男性在伴侣背叛中的独特经历和感受,因为现有的资源大多关注女性视角。男性往往承受着巨大的羞耻感和社会压力,难以表达情感,这使得他们的疗愈之路更加艰难。我从自身经历出发,结合多年的临床经验,为男性提供具体的应对策略和疗愈方法。首先,被背叛的男性需要允许自己感受痛苦,不要试图快速修复或逃避问题。寻求专业帮助,加入支持小组,与信任的朋友倾诉,都是有效的途径。其次,被背叛者需要反思自身在关系中扮演的角色,但这并不意味着他们要为伴侣的背叛负责。自我反思有助于理解关系中的问题,并为未来的关系建立更健康的模式。最后,和解并非易事,需要双方共同努力,进行自我疗愈和关系修复。这需要伴侣为自己的行为承担责任,并共同面对问题。在这个过程中,男性需要克服嫉妒、愤怒等负面情绪,并重新建立自我认知和价值感。 Connor Beaton: 作为一名播客主持人,我关注到男性在伴侣背叛方面缺乏资源和支持。Adam的书为男性提供了宝贵的指导,帮助他们应对背叛带来的创伤和挑战。在与Adam的对话中,我深入了解了男性在伴侣背叛后可能经历的各种情绪,以及他们可能采取的一些不当应对方式。例如,试图惩罚伴侣,以牙还牙,或者迅速原谅并掩盖问题。这些行为都可能加剧问题,阻碍疗愈和和解。此外,我还探讨了伴侣背叛的原因,以及男性如何重建自我认知和价值感。在和解的过程中,透明和诚实至关重要,双方需要共同努力,才能建立更健康、更亲密的关系。
