Eszter's Weekly Elephant: Issue #2

Uncover the unvarnished truth and discover yourself!

Welcome to the second issue of Eszter's Weekly Elephant! We hope you'll find the content here both intriguing and enjoyable!

As promised earlier, we will summarize the topics we've covered each week. However, since there are still many articles on the substack that haven't been discussed yet, this second issue aims to catch up on the subjects we've explored.

So, let's dive in!

As for me, I've always been fascinated by family stories, and when I learned about family constellations in my adulthood, I realized that these stories are worth examining not only because they are exciting but also because they shed light on a myriad of connections, not just within a family's history but often within the history of humanity. They also hold the key to solving many problems, whether they are related to health, relationships, difficult parent-child dynamics, struggling careers, finances, or persistently ailing pets. Frequently, we can find the causes in family stories, and through them, we can find solutions.

I'm aware that some may respond to this by calling it nonsense, but fortunately, my work with over a thousand people has convinced me otherwise. Thus, I'm more inclined to trust my own eyes than any theory.

One of the most exciting articles discusses transgenerational traumas. Those who have never delved into this topic will immediately grasp its essence upon reading. It's worth pondering the stories circulating within our families, identifying who the black sheep are, and who has faced a challenging fate.

Without employing any particular technique, we can often discover simple connections between events in our family history and our everyday struggles. For example, we may notice how medical professionals in a family often talk about the same person in the family history who couldn't be healed. It's a reasonable assumption that, very probably, every family member working in the medical field chose their profession due to a subconscious motivation to save that person, even if they have long passed away. Similarly, in families dealing with financial issues, there's always someone who was wealthy but was condemned or even ostracized by the family for some reason. By rejecting that wealthy family member, the family unconsciously rejects the pattern of prosperity as well. Some patterns are easier to pinpoint, while others are not as evident. For those interested in this topic, here is the article:

Working with clients has revealed numerous fascinating connections, including the possibility that transgenerational trauma could be the cause of infertility, both in men and women. Of course, there are situations where this is not the case, but when all medical reasons have been ruled out, it's worth exploring the psychological origins of the problem. In this regard, the following articles on the causes of male and female infertility can provide valuable assistance:

For those who feel completely overwhelmed by stimuli within just two hours, even at the smallest social gatherings, and who can't wait to get home to sit silently on the couch, gazing into space, the article on super-sensitivity might offer relief.

This article sheds light on the reasons behind this rapid exhaustion and helps us see ourselves more clearly. Back when I discovered research on super-sensitivity, it not only reassured me that I'm not abnormal but also made me appreciate the positive aspects of this condition. I learned to manage my energy much better and found the best ways to recharge after draining days.

I often hear people say, "Why bother with traumatic childhood experiences? It's better to forget them." This may sound reasonable, but unfortunately, my experience has shown that without processing these events, we expose ourselves to greater risks than if we were willing to release the associated emotions and heal ourselves. This theory is substantiated by research in which adults who had traumatic experiences in childhood were monitored over an extended period. The results were surprising and highly thought-provoking. It's worth reading:

Childhood traumas can take various forms. Most people think of traumas such as physical abuse or sexual abuse, but deprivation traumas affect just as many individuals as those where there was an excess of something, like sexuality or aggression. This article delves deeper into what deprivation traumas are:

In our experience, one of the most challenging situations in human relationships is when a loved one goes through a tough, challenging situation that can disrupt their entire life. In such times, most of us awkwardly attempt to offer some form of help, but things often become quite uncomfortable. To learn how we can be there for someone in the right way, read the article “What to say when the unspeakable happens?”
