Therefore. designing a standardized study is difficult.But we do know nostalgia has a marked effect on us: brain imaging studies show that those experiences have their own neural signature.

39、s. However, as a psychoanalyst, Ive seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (c) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell
40、University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe thats an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.Canceling your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend a

44、nd feel safe in the presence of the other.The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent, In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesnt matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is being left. They carry the gho

How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to t

Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It
47、 cant be a single project of “self-help, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement-and its worth the work.31. Why do young people cut ties w
