From the author: Quantum psychotherapy as a movement towards integrity On Wednesday I met my former neighbor on the street, she is a little over 70. I said hello and saw eyes full of pain and anxiety. -How is your dog? She has no other relatives in our city. -I killed my dog. She, frightened by the noise of firecrackers, threw herself under the wheels of the car. She didn’t want to go for a walk, she resisted, but I still took her... She began to tell how it all happened. No, she didn’t remember this, for her everything was happening right now. She talked, cried...I just listened. The story about the dog imperceptibly moved on to another tragedy. A month earlier, her brother, who had come to her from afar to live out his old age together, suddenly died. And then again there was guilt. If she knew, she could, how did I not notice.... She talks and talks... As if everything is happening right now. She saw the whole situation, reconstructed the whole series of events in every detail and ... realized that neither the first nor the second case was her fault. - Marinochka, it’s so good that I met you. It became so easy for me, I didn’t know how to live with it... I tried to tell someone many times, but they took pity on me, reassured me, without allowing me to finish speaking. The new dog has already been brought. Her eyes came to life, and she hurried to say goodbye to me, so as not to delay me any longer. And somehow I felt lighter. I easily listened to the story of pain, loss, fear and guilt, allowing all the feelings to be present. Just recently, I couldn’t. She herself had unconscious guilt. Previously, I would also have started to calm down and look for a way to avoid this, to “not pay attention.” But this would not make the pain less, unless it went deep inside, or, even worse, realized itself in some new formation. If there is energy, it must be allowed to be. Allow order and transformation. Restore integrity.
