Heartache is always different

Lovesickness is always present when our love is not or no longer reciprocated, usually he answers after a breakup. Most of all affected by grief is the abandoned person who often "falls as if struck by lightning". The sensations and reactions are similar to those that we encounter as mourning reactions after the death of a loved one, although the love pain after a separation lacks the finality of death. But as much as one tries to objectify the process from the outside, every human being feels his love pain as unique.

In most cases, time heals the wounds. On the way to healing, we respond as we usually do in emotional stress and profound changes. Sometimes with fear, self-blame and guilt, sometimes with anger, defense, blame and vengeance. While the one seeks the conversation to understand, another pulls back and "stews in their own juice." Heartache can last for weeks, months or years. Only when we accept the loss and integrate the past relationship into our "inner wealth of experience", we can turn our eyes once again into the future and open ourselves to a new partnership. If we remain emotionally or mentally in despair, hope, the beautiful past, in hate or depression, this is sometimes an indication of inadequate coping strategies often used in previous relationships, e.g. in their own family of origin, learned or not learned. Then it can make sense to be accompanied a bit professionally.

Stories with therapeutic power

Since people use language, life experiences are passed on in stories and stories. Although this tradition has become increasingly rare in everyday life in this country, it has developed in recent years, a psychotherapeutic branch, which deals with the healing power of stories and metaphors. These healing stories are more indirect and suggestive; they should not be analyzed but rather intuitively recorded and set in motion internal processes. (Dipl.Päd.
