  • TRUST IS AN ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE UNKNOWN. Looking back at psychotherapist Esther Perel's impromptu "Ask me Anything" session from last UNFINISHED, we find much wisdom and comfort. Back then already we were thinking about how to be there for others without loosing ourselves, consider that protecting someone is not always what we think, and calling out for quality listening and device-free attention. Watch the entire video for more! -and then turn off your screen ;)

    Fascinating discussion. She hit on a couple of important things - seemingly one sign of a healthy relationship: when the person I'm involved with and I are able to reflect each other in a healthy way, rather than being detached. I've had the experience of being physically close to someone, yet they were so emotionally detached I might as well have been halfway around the world. At that level it's so much better to be alone. "To make space for another person to be with themselves in your presence". To allow them to be themself. There is a cavernous divide between the genuine caring it takes to allow someone to be themself, even in a simple friendship, as opposed to using or abusing them.
    What about when you leave in order to save your own life for good reason? Really agree that the qualities of trust, loyalty, etc. are very important. How do we build real trust?
    Enjoyed listening. Thanks and appreciation.

    Hi your amazing Esther I love your truthfulness and direct approach I’m 67 and things I’ve learned are that people don’t tell the truth and can skew research the stuff that goes on behind closed doors such as clubs that provide lunchtime sex….for gay people who are married….it’s sad but there is an underground that should be explored thank you

    Polyamory...funny how anyone could be jealous, have trust issues, or be offended at being cheated on...obviously, in that whole situation, no one can be "dedicated" to anyone so it should be no surprise...in MY own OPINION...that situation breeds trust issues and jealousy, that you are not good enough for that person...

    Great talk Esther! We should meet. Wish the sound was better...but ahh...Trust and the share on communication is a biggee. In Your Body is a Gift -a 6 year project- I created and published was overwhelming. I found myself introducing to girls between 12 and 18 that --...Sexual Intimacy and love go together! OMG! Hopefully, a very similar book for females 19 - 35 will happen. Yes, working with Americans...and working in America you have had a few adjustments to make. Some of my young editors from Europe (South America not so much) have a bit of a different take on sex and love. Real communication, relationship, trust, love & then sexuality... are the '5 Biggies'. Our teens and 20s are wanting something more than lame Sex Ed 101. Oh by the way...WOW!! Your talk that brought up 'INdifference' was a turning point for me!! Sooooo grateful. I am the mother of 2 grown men (just wait!) who came of age during the Clinton mess. Great story there. Blessings to you and yours.

  • @Cat-qo2mn
    @Cat-qo2mn Год назад +2

    This woman has a background in art, not therapy. Maybe ask her how long she was actually practicing therapy - it's not 35 years. She waffles on with so much irrelevant information, and what is relevant is obvious to all of us - none of this is groundbreaking. Just because the dating landscape has changed, doesn't mean it's for the better. We are living in a world of narcissism right now, and we don't need more compromising of our morals and ethics when it comes to intimate relationships. I argue that she promotes and even encourages polygamy in relationships as well, and the way in which it is pushed in her books is nothing short of negligent. Lastly, psychotherapy is not backed by science, and they aren't taught anything about trauma, but only skim over the basics of the brain and nervous system. People like her are literally re-traumatising people by making victim-blaming blanket statements that are in favour of abusers. Every couple I've ever met that has subscribed her her nonsense, there is always one extremely selfish partner that cheats, and the other is expected to accept it and have an open relationship even when it goes against their values - all because this stupid woman says it's okay.

    I have a question: "Why are you a prostitute?"
    And sorry to disappoint you but I am multilingual (English is my 7th in order of acquisition), multicultural and "multidegreed" (including a doctorate). I am also the second generation
    But there differences between us:
    - I am a historian and masters in Jewish history is one of my degrees - ALL with a significant historical component.
    - I despise psychobabbling
    - most importantly - I am not a prostitute. I was raised by decent parents and chasing wealth and fame by selling antisemitism is not my thing.
    Go and occupy something. Why would one actually study history and know something when one can be rich and famous by pushing universal hugging babbling?
