女嘉宾:我与男友感情很好,但他从未过问我的过去创伤。我脑海中反复出现想出轨的念头,这让我感到困惑和痛苦。我从未付诸行动,但这个想法挥之不去,让我想知道它是否会伴随我一生。我曾经历过性侵犯,这可能与我现在的想法有关。在之前的恋爱中,我也曾有过类似的想法,但这次更加强烈和持续。我把脑海中的声音称为‘邪恶的我’,它不断怂恿我出轨,并认为我可以轻易逃脱。它并非出于恶意,而是以一种理所当然的语气,让我感到困惑。第一次听到这个声音是在恋爱初期,它劝我与其他人发生关系,以避免再次受伤。我从未向男友提及我的性侵犯经历,也从未想过要告诉他。我认为自己已经从过去的创伤中走出来了,能够信任男性,并对未来有期待。但我意识到,‘邪恶的声音’可能源于过去创伤带来的愤怒和报复心理,我将男性视为可以随意利用和抛弃的对象。我通过一些小举动来引起男友的注意,这与我脑海中的‘邪恶的声音’有相似之处。我希望男友能够更多地关注我,并表达对我的好奇。我没有付诸行动,所以没有必要告诉男友自己脑海中的想法。 Esther:我认为这个‘邪恶的声音’并非单纯的性幻想,而是试图通过出轨来表达某种诉求,可能是为了弥补过去创伤带来的影响。这个声音并非简单的性幻想,而是持续困扰她的、具有破坏性的声音。她内心的声音并非简单的性幻想,而是源于内心的需求和不满。她男友的被动态度可能也影响了她的想法,男友的被动态度让她感觉不被理解。这个声音的出现是为了提醒女嘉宾关注自己被忽视的需求,而不是单纯的出轨欲望。女嘉宾的想法并非单纯的性幻想,而是源于内心的需求和不满。建议女嘉宾可以尝试与男友沟通,表达自己希望被更多了解的需求。可以尝试用一些有趣的方式与男友沟通,例如在家里留下一些问题纸条,引导他更多地关注自己。
