I just can’t get over it. Healing from hurt.
Psychology for me
Louise Malan (Clinical Psychologist)   
We all experience events in relationships and in our lives that are very painful.  How do we resolve these hurtful experiences and move on?  Why do some people struggle much more than others to recover from certain events?

Disappointment, loss, death, abandonment, betrayal, accidents and rejection.  These experiences and many more are part of people’s daily lives.  How do we resolve these painful experiences and find the ability to move on?  All these experiences need a level of mourning, because they all involve some loss.  Perhaps the loss of the bond with and dreams for a baby that died, perhaps the loss of trust and security in a relationship where your partner had an affair, perhaps the loss of your dreams of being a mommy after an early hysterectomy.  Many know the loss and pain when you feel rejected or replaced by someone else.

In today’s economy, where retrenchments and early retirements are commonplace, the trend is that more and more people become business owners – whether they start their own business or buy one – and they need specialised guidance.

Mourning and failure to mourn
Psychology for me
Louise Malan (Clinical Psychologist)   
So many of us have been confronted by the enormous loss and pain caused by the death of a loved one.  How can we continue living a meaningful life after loss?  What does it mean to mourn and what interferes with healthy mourning?

Patrick Casements believes that “ How well, or how poorly, people cope with bereavement  may mark all of the life that remains to them.  Some, if they have had no help, may never quite recover.”
