If you feel the need for change—if you long for something new in your relationship—do not change your partner; change something within yourself. One of the main challenges in long-term relationships is how partners deal with the inevitable crises that arise from the relationship’s development and the need for change. In such moments, the inner […]
Relationships
"There is a way to be happy in a relationship, and that is to use it for its true purpose, not for a purpose you invented..." Neil Donald Walsh And the true purpose of relationships is to be mirrors that help us learn and grow, learning the lessons of love. Human relationships are so important, and very often we interpret what happens to us in them in the wrong way. We are talking about such basic beliefs as "what is love" or "what is done to have harmonious relationships in our lives".

When Can We Really Do Something?
“To know where the other person makes a mistake is of little value. It only becomes interesting when you know where you make the mistake, for then you can do something about it.”— Carl G. Jung, The Collected Works (Aion, CW 9ii, Para 424)

The Tortoise and the Scorpion
There is a parable about the tortoise and the scorpion that I felt like commenting on: “Once, the tortoise gave in to the scorpion’s pleas to carry him on her back across the river. The scorpion sat still for most of the way, but just before reaching the other bank, he couldn’t help himself and […]

The Empty Boat
This is a story told by Lin Chi, which a close friend sent to me a while ago, and now I feel the urge to pass it on. For me, it is the best thing I have ever encountered regarding how we can stop taking life’s events personally. “When I was young, I used to […]

You believe you can handle anything in the world; you feel wonderful and cherished. The problem is that, sooner or later, we hit the ground, simply because “this kind of love” cannot […]

What Is a Spoiled Child “A spoiled child is not a child who receives too much of what it wants.A spoiled child is one who does not receive enough of what it needs.” This is Jesper Juul’s definition of a spoiled child from his book “Here I Am! Who are You?” Juul, a Danish family therapist […]
It has been a long time since I recommended books on my website, and to compensate, I will recommend three at once! This is because I am not just recommending the books, but their author—Jesper Juul, the Danish family therapist and author of numerous books on parent-child relationships and upbringing. His most famous work is […]

Jesper Juul on the Seven-Year Crisis
In his book “Being a Man and a Father”, the Danish family therapist Jesper Juul speaks about the inevitable crises that periodically arise in long-term relationships. Since a relationship is a living entity that is constantly evolving, development leads to change, and change—if not properly understood—leads to crisis. Knowledge is invaluable precisely in such moments. […]

The Most Dangerous Lie Is What We Don’t Say
According to therapist Brad Blanton, author of the book Radical Honesty, the main cause of stress is not something else, but living a lie. According to him, “We all lie like the world. It saps our life force. It’s the root cause of the stress people experience. In short: lying sees us through the bill.”
