Topic:

We will talk about how the peculiarities of our life and difficult events influence the choice of many components of destiny. Complex life experience determines the choice of profession, the pattern of love and friendship relationships, the peculiarities of parental role. We will also talk about the possibility/futility of influencing this predetermination. Such phenomena as “self-destructive behavior”, “acting out”, “learned helplessness”, “hostile attitude to self/identification with the abuser” will be considered.
