Produktbeschreibung
In villages, cities, and corporate towers, a silent epidemic grows-emotional dependency, relational exhaustion, and the quiet ache of people who have forgotten how to belong to themselves. In Dependency Syndrome in Marriage, Branny Mthelebofu blends the wisdom of Freud, Jung, and Fromm with the lived realities of African communities to reveal why so many individuals remain trapped in painful relationships, unresolved trauma, and inherited patterns of suffering. Drawing on psychoanalysis, cultural psychology, and community-based healing, this groundbreaking book explores how memory lives in the body, why trauma resurfaces when love collapses, and how societal expectations-from marriage pressure to corporate performance-shape the way we attach, disconnect, or cling. From rural Limpopo to global cities like New York and Lagos, the narrative illuminates universal struggles with identity, self-worth, and the capacity to love freely. Through compassionate analysis and field-based insight, Mthelebofu offers readers a new therapy method rooted in mindful movement, narrative healing, nutrition, and deep cultural awareness-especially for people who have avoided therapy out of fear, stigma, or exhaustion. For therapists, social workers, psychologists, and anyone seeking healing, this book provides practical tools, reflective exercises, and a profound lens for understanding emotional pain across cultures. Dependency Syndrome in Marriage is more than a book-it is a roadmap back to oneself, a guide for rebuilding identity after trauma, and a powerful invitation to practice freedom, self-compassion, and authentic love.
