## [Why it becomes harder to build healthy relationships without coming to terms with our parents' shortcomings](https://alisanburak.com/en/anne-babamizin-eksikligiyle-barismadan-saglikli-iliski-kurmak-neden-zorlasir)
The way parents described their childhood and their infants' attachment patterns showed 75 percent agreement across 661 pairs; kappa was 0.49, indicating moderate agreement. 🧠 The Adult Attachment Interview assesses not what happened in childhood, but how it is described today. Even when negative experiences are described, if the narrative is coherent, the assessment indicates secur

## [Three directions of idealization in narcissism: the past, the future, and the other](https://alisanburak.com/en/narsisizmde-idealizasyonun-uc-yonu-gecmis-gelecek-ve-oteki)
Narcissism is not simply about admiring oneself excessively. Idealization is sometimes directed toward the past, sometimes toward the future, and sometimes toward another person. 🕰️ Akhtar describes two familiar fantasies. “If only” glorifies the past: “If that hadn't happened, my life would have been different.” “Someday” glorifies the future: “Someday everyone

## [Janina Fisher and parts in trauma: staying aware of our parts](https://alisanburak.com/en/janina-fisher-ve-travmada-parcalar-parcalarimiza-ayik-kalmak)
After complex trauma, the mind sometimes functions not as a unified whole, but as insufficiently integrated parts. This is how the theory of structural dissociation describes it. 🧩 In this theory, one part carries on with everyday life: going to work, running the household. Another remains stuck in the traumatic experience, even after the danger has passed

## [Choose your pain and be willing to experience it.](https://alisanburak.com/en/acilardan-aci-secin-ve-aciya-gonullu-olun)
Choose your pain and be willing to face it. We cannot live without being willing to experience pain. The pain we run from does not diminish; it merely shifts: when we escape into our careers, our families bleed; when we escape into our families, our careers do. After a while, both doors are forgotten, and we are left in between. To rejoice if it ends well, to grieve if it ends badly. Kö

An exercise dose can be prescribed for mental disorders: at least 3 sessions per week, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes, with moderate intensity as the baseline. 🧠 A 2025 umbrella review combining 103 meta-analyses and 364,889 participants found a moderate overall effect of physical activity on mental disorders: effect size

## [Medication is not the first recommendation for mild depression.](https://alisanburak.com/en/hafif-depresyonda-ilk-oneri-ilac-degil)
Medication is not the first recommendation for mild depression. The UK's NICE guideline (2022) does not recommend antidepressants as a first-line option for mild depression, except when the patient specifically requests them—not routinely. Instead, one of the options at the top of the list is regular physical activity: half an hour, three days a week, if poss

Grief is not a five-stage checklist to be ticked off in order. In a Yale study of 233 people, acceptance was the most common response from the very first month. "While I thought I was learning how to live, I was learning how to die." This sentence, compiled from Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, relates to the central idea of my book Şairler ve Psikoterapistler Gözüyle Yas

Perfectionism is often described as a virtue. Being meticulous, liking order, and doing your job well are indeed valuable. But when do these same traits stop working for us and start making us work for them? Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder lies precisely at this boundary. The lists never end, work cannot be delegated, "

What is measured in ADHD is not an absence of focus: hyperfocus scores in 132 adult patients at two clinics were higher than in controls. 🧠 Ozel-Kizil et al. describe hyperfocus as an inability to shift attention away from an engaging event and suggest that it may be defined as a distinct dimension of adult ADHD

The abandonment schema is not a fear but an expectation: the expectation that someone you become close to will one day leave. 🧠 The abandonment (instability) schema belongs to the disconnection and rejection domain. A meta-analysis found a correlation of r = 0.25 between emotional neglect and this schema in adolescents (May et al., 2022). In 426 people

For some people, order feels less like a preference and more like a necessity. When papers are not aligned, an inner unease begins. The work is finished, but "good enough" never seems to arrive. Rest is postponed because something needs to be finished first, and that list never ends. It would not be right to describe this as a flaw

People are medicine for one another. A peaceful, fulfilling life is something we all want, but we rarely do what it takes. Yet there are three areas, any one of which can change our quality of life on its own. The first is relationships.

The sexual side effects of antidepressants are rarely reported unless people are asked directly. This is a warning from the meta-analysis itself. 🩺 Four rarely discussed topics: excessive sweating, vivid dreams, teeth grinding, and sexual function. Reports of sweating were 2.93 times higher with SSRIs and 3.17 times higher with SNRIs than with placebo; an analysis of 76 studies and 28,544 participants

Is that voice going round and round at night doing any good? The argument ended, apologies were made, and the matter was considered closed. But when you lie down in bed, the scene starts again: who said what, what you said, what you should have said. By dawn, not a single new sentence or decision has emerged. Only exhaustion remains.

When the things people do to soothe their fear of loss are measured, they turn out to be behaviors that undermine trust. In 44% of 136 couples, at least one partner reported electronically monitoring the other. 🔍 Anxious attachment means constantly expecting abandonment in a close relationship.

## [Does venting anger bring relief?](https://alisanburak.com/en/ofkeyi-bosaltmak-rahatlatir-mi)
Does venting anger bring relief? The map our culture gives us is simple: anger is steam building up inside; let it out so it passes. Shout, punch a pillow, go for a run. Measurements suggest the opposite. In an experiment involving participants who had been provoked, those who punched a punching bag while thinking about the person who angered them were the angriest and

## [The protective self: mistaking the way we protect ourselves for our identity](https://alisanburak.com/en/koruyan-kendilik-korunma-bicimimizi-kimligimiz-sanmak)
Becoming absorbed in mental content is not a personality trait: it is a distinct dimension measured in a meta-analysis of 9,123 participants, with scores decreasing after therapy. 🧠 The protective self consists of the ways we have learned to protect ourselves from being hurt: control, avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and vigilance.
