Jay White: 我在2003年被征召入伍,但早在911事件后部队就已进入戒备状态,长达一年半的等待期充满不确定性,这对我及我的家人、朋友和同事都造成了很大的精神压力。为了应对这种不确定性,我专注于保持体能,我认为这也有助于我的心理健康。我把出征看作是一场重要的赛事,需要为此做好充分的准备。接到出征通知时,我的母亲非常担心,我不得不向她解释说,只有去经历过,才能真正结束这种担忧。在战区,我最害怕的时刻是2003年4月15日晚上的炮击,当时我感到死亡的威胁,更担心的是如果我牺牲了,我的家人将如何承受。我当时唯一的愿望就是立即回到家,摆脱那种境地。从战争中脱身是一个渐进的过程,需要慢慢适应。战后,我成为一名心理咨询师,希望能帮助更多的退伍军人。我认为退伍军人事务部雇佣我们这些有参战经历的人,是为了让其他退伍军人更容易与有共同经历的人交流,从而更好地进行心理调适。退伍后,很多人只想回家,忘记一切,但寻求帮助并不丢人,有很多机构可以提供支持。 Ellen Kenner: 爱情是对他人潜意识评估的回应,我们可以通过内省来了解这些评估。分析情感可以帮助我们做出更好的决定,不会破坏爱情的神秘感。
