It’s a common question, especially for those who, in moments of introspection, come to analyze their lives and relationships. The answer is not simple, because each of us perceives loneliness differently, depending on our own experiences and personality.
On the need for validation – A practical guide
In today’s context of social networking and growing emotional awareness, the theme of self-love and self-acceptance is becoming ubiquitous.
On the need for validation – a misunderstood normality
How many times have you yourself heard about how important it is to love yourself before loving others? The admonition resounds resounding on all social networks, on all recent blogs of those with or without a human inclination; moreover, even the people we meet in real everyday life suddenly stop the emotions we feel to share by giving us the “saving solution”: Love yourself if you want others to love you!
Which is harder: suffering from depression or seeing your loved ones suffering?
When we think of depression, we imagine the intense suffering of those who experience it first-hand – the feeling of profound sadness, the sense of loss of hope and the lack of energy to face daily challenges. But depression affects more than the person themselves; it has a profound effect on those around them. So one question becomes crucial: is it harder to suffer from depression or to see loved ones suffering?
About trauma – how childhood events influence our present and future
Mental disorders and personality disorders are two distinct categories of psychological disorders that significantly affect an individual’s mental state and behaviour. Although they have different characteristics and symptoms, both can cause significant difficulties in a person’s daily life and require therapeutic intervention.
Loss and healing: understanding bereavement
The way in which each of us looks at death is based on many elements, but the decisive one seems to be the way we look at LIFE itself. It matters very much how we relate to our own life to determine how we relate to death and how we mourn those who are no more.
What do we do when 1+1=3? On infidelity in relationships
Infidelity in relationships can be discussed endlessly, as it is a complex and very controversial topic, most often referring to couple relationships. However, relational infidelity is not only confined to couple relationships, but also to friendship, collegiality, kinship, etc., where it brings at least as much frustration and pain and an equally difficult recovery process as infidelity in a couple.
Effects of divorce on children
Divorce is the final form of marital dissolution, with far-reaching effects on both partners and their offspring. It is the child who is most affected by family events. The divorce of the parents leads to a decrease in the child’s self-confidence and helps to develop feelings of guilt and aggression.
Bereavement: how do we make peace with people who are no longer in our lives (ex, friends or even relatives)?
Throughout our life we grew up in a culture that made breakups something somber and difficult to experience. The death of a close person, divorce, separations from youth, ending a friendship, leaving the parental home, the empty nest stage experienced by parents, starting kindergarten, leaving maternity leave and even weaning the baby are experiences in which we come to know the feeling of pain.
Postpartum depression – what changes happen in moms’ brains after giving birth
Having a baby can trigger a variety of strong emotions in women, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety, and they may even experience various types of depression. About one in seven women may develop postpartum depression (PPD). It most commonly occurs within 6 weeks after childbirth, but symptoms can start earlier – during pregnancy – or later – up to a year after childbirth.
