The lecture will help to understand why painful scenarios and 'wrong' partners reappear in relationships. Recurring difficulties in relationships often seem like coincidences: another similar partner, another familiar pain, another feeling that the choice was not made in one's favor. The lecture-workshop offers a closer look at such situations without self-criticism. The focus of the conversation is not on finding blame, but on understanding what internal beliefs, expectations, and habitual reactions can lead to relationships that do not provide warmth, support, and satisfaction. The format is structured as a dialogue between two psychologists. Alya Shundrik works in transactional analysis, and Tatyana Diakonova in cognitive-behavioral therapy. This allows the topic to be examined from different angles. Register on Timepad. Where to go in St. Petersburg, we tell on our website.
