The lecture will help calmly understand separation - an important process of growing up that concerns both children and parents. Through Eric Berne's theory of ego states, participants will see how to build independence, let go of control, and maintain a warm connection without pressure, resentment, unnecessary anxiety, and guilt. The topic of separation concerns both the child who is growing up and learning to rely on themselves, and the parent who sometimes finds it difficult to let go of the familiar role of the main protector and advisor. The lecture offers a perspective on this process without accusations and harsh judgments - as a natural stage of relationships, where boundaries, trust, and the ability to see a close person as a separate individual are important. Psychologist Yulia Miller will discuss the significance of separation and introduce listeners to Eric Berne's theory of ego states. Register on Timepad.
