Topics
叙述者Witt Misseldein讲述了他童年时期被父亲遗弃的创伤经历,以及这段经历如何塑造了他的性格和对爱与归属感的理解。他描述了在童年和成年生活中,他如何努力应对创伤,并发展出“忍耐”和“逃避”两种应对机制。在经历了朋友的去世、亲人的离世以及一段长期恋爱关系的结束之后,他感到身心俱疲。在一次旅行中,他突发心脏骤停,经历了临床死亡。在昏迷期间,他经历了两个不同的场景:一个是关于救援潜水员的场景,象征着对生命的救赎和对逝去的爱人的怀念;另一个是在医院的场景,象征着对自我的一部分进行舍弃的挣扎。最终,他选择接纳自我全部的体验,并从这段经历中获得对生命更深刻的理解。在康复期间,他逐渐意识到与之前自我的脱节,并重新学习如何体验生活,建立新的关系,并与家人修复关系。他强调了接纳、放下、修复和爱在生命中的重要性,以及在人际关系中界限感和同理心的平衡。
