Funny Couple. Observers - Relations

Gestalt therapist Alla Poverennova analyzes the relationship in a couple using a funny photo. It turns out that even one captured moment can tell a lot about a relationship.

The girl "works on the lens", tries to portray adrenaline. The idea of the photo belongs, most likely, to her. The guy is embarrassed and a little annoyed. The girl, on the other hand, deliberately depicts a "pair". For some reason, it is important for these guys to show (perhaps to someone in particular) how fun and amicably they spend time together.

The girl is in control of the situation, but she really wants the audience to see the situation differently: her boyfriend is a hero, ready to carry her in his arms

It seems that she found herself in a dual (and often now encountered) situation: I really want a strong partner, “support”, to be nearby, but it is scary to trust and due to her character it is almost impossible to obey.

A kind of "patriarchal" game, but with full control. A strong man evokes fear, a weak man contempt. The absence of a partner breaks the stereotypical picture of a modern, realized woman. The guy, in turn, also lacks the courage and, possibly, self-confidence to express himself more clearly and take responsibility for leadership in a couple.
