Apart from genetic factors or other health conditions, depression often arises from the emotional, physical, and mental blind spots (disconnections) we develop to survive. These blind spots serve us initially but eventually disconnect us from essential parts of ourselves, costing us dearly over time. We all create these blind spots, which become the things “we don’t know we once knew.” Recognizing and honoring these blind spots through meaningful behavioral shifts is a powerful way out of depression.
I wouldn’t say that relationship issues cause depression outright, except in abusive situations. However, even non-abusive relationships can trigger it. What I see in my sessions with clients is that depression usually comes from a preexisting disconnection within the person’s awareness, a vital part of themselves that needs healing. This disconnection can be on any level: physical, emotional, psychological, mental, experiential, relational… Intimate relationships can deepen or reveal this disconnection but don’t create it.
the clients do their part by reconnecting within themselves and the relationship. By acknowledging and honoring their needs and boundaries, they respond more effectively to external stressors or relational challenges. This reconnection also enables their partners to choose to engage meaningfully in the “renewed” relationship or not. Once the client’s reconnection work and the behavioral shifts are done, it becomes clearer whether the relationship should be sustained, reshaped, or ended. And the client is empowered and resourceful enough to make that decision.
Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun...
A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying.
One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever..
We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc
If u want pics of her text me.
According to my experience, here is what healing from there looks like in a relational context:
