Seminar
Spirituality, Broken Hearts, and Broken Relationships
Clive Mifsud SDB – Robert Falzon SDB
Relationships form us; for good and for bad, they shape our understanding of ourselves and of each other. Letting ourselves come into contact with others opens us to all sorts of possibilities. Some relationships mature us, enrich us, and help us to grow on the path of authenticity. Others can be traumatizing and hurtful; especially those relationships that are most meaningful to us can even break our hearts. In such situations of hurt and vulnerability, in broken-heartedness, spirituality helps us ask the right questions, making it possible for us to find an approach that supports us, provides inner peace, and (if and when possible) also reconciliation.
In this seminar, after looking at some foundational concepts from both theology and therapy, Christian spirituality will be presented as a support in dealing with situations of broken-heartedness, while Gestalt Psychotherapy will support the reading of the concrete situation and the processing that is needed. The seminar aims to be engaging and interactive such that, apart from the level of information, there is also a level of personal processing.
