(overcoming) Interpersonal issues - F(O)UND-A-MENTALS - episode VI

We've all went through those - a great heartbreaks, feeling of sadness, hopelesness, greaving - being lost for a while as we found it nearly impossible to loose someone we love. Those can lie really heavy on us and can last for a long time, so to get a way how to understand them better as well as to utilise a techniques which can help us to a void them or at least help us to feel better if we are unable to can be something that can really make a big difference. I do hope that if this is you currently, you are aware that you are not alone! You might not care about anyone else as much as to a person that you've lost, but that does not mean there is noone who care about you as deeply even if you might not see them the same way. Each of us is individual and love we have towards others is nopt always the same as love they have for us. Know that there is always someone who love you and who care, no matter if that is your best frien, family or even just a colleague from work - you are not alone and you got this! 00:00 quick overview 00:50 intro 01:24 why ( https://www.verywellmind.com/breakup-depression-4768558 , https://www.unh.edu/pacs/break-ups-how-help-yourself-move ) 03:13 We are all unique ( https://www.ananiasfoundation.org/accepting-differences/ , https://danielamiller.com/2018/10/26/challenges-of-accepting-people-and-things-as-they-are ) ARGUMENTS & PREVENTING THE WORST FROM HAPPENING 05:03 Emotional contagion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_contagion , https://positivepsychology.com/emotional-contagion/ , https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/emotional-contagion ) 11:41 Taking over from unconsciousness ( https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20130707221745-85816712-the-power-of-the-unconscious-mind-how-does-it-affect-your-everyday-conscious-decisions , book: How to be the love you seek [dr Nicole Lepera]) 13:22 Respect, compassion & communications ( https://www.kevanlee.com/articles/non-violent-communication , https://compassionandwisdom.org/respect-the-key-to-success-happiness-and-strong-relationships/ , https://www.headspace.com/articles/ground-rules-good-arguments ) WHEN IT IS OVER... 14:24 Importance of closure ( https://psychcentral.com/relationships/finding-closure , https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/relations/defining-closure-psychology/ ) 19:06 What cen you do for yourself 28:32 Up next...
