Esther: 我丈夫在2018年自杀身亡,这对我造成了巨大的情感创伤。虽然我知道自己无法阻止悲剧发生,但我仍然在反思自己在这段关系中是否错过了什么,是否容忍了不正常的行为。我担心自己是否在感情上承担了过多的责任,以至于忽略了自己的需求。现在,我想重新开始一段新的关系,但我需要先处理好过去的创伤,找到失去的自己。我需要学会在未来的关系中保护自己,而不是一味地去拯救别人。我的丈夫是一个善良和爱我的人,但他的焦虑和抑郁严重影响了我们的关系。他将工作作为身份认同的来源,这导致他忽略了我们的亲密关系。我意识到自己扮演了修复者和拯救者的角色,并在关系中承担了过多的情感负担,以至于忽略了自己的需求。我需要重新找回自己,找到平衡的关系。 主持人: 你多年来一直关注你丈夫的情绪和危机,并接受了你们之间日渐疏离的事实。你成为了他无微不至的护士,却忽略了自己的需求。为了让他活着,你让自己陷入某种麻木的状态。现在,你需要反思这段关系对你造成的影响,以及你想要在未来的关系中得到什么。你是一个优秀的照顾者,但你也有其他的照顾经验,这些经验是积极和充满爱的。你需要将这些积极的经验带入到未来的关系中,而不是只关注过去的创伤。你需要重新找回自己,展现你充满活力和魅力的一面。你失去的不是一段关系,而是你自己。你需要找回那个充满活力,热爱生活,并且能够享受爱情的自己。
