Abstract

Many people have hard times in human relationships in groups such as schools and work. Most of these problems are caused by the wounds in their own mind. Children who get involved with their parents' fights, or are used as a tool for those parents to get back together, grow up with fears of wondering whether their existence is allowed. It is impossible for them in those conditions to have a stable relationship with others. Those children who have never been protected by their mothers have to protect themselves. That protection gets naturally and gradually tough and sometimes becomes a weapon to hurt other people, while it hurts themselves. A woman with a wound in her heart couldn't keep a proper distance and got too close to others, and as a result was hurt physically and mentally. She sometimes suffered from the symptoms. However, the suffering was healed through psychological help. How was the suffering healed through the psychological help who accepted her wound ? In the process, her relationship with her parents and other people improved as the images of maternity and paternity changed in some of her dreams.
