Healing & Resilience
Healing from life events is seldom easy. It takes commitment and concerted effort, and some days are diamonds and other days are rocks. We've found that a reminder that we deserve better and acknowledging this, often, is key.
Inspired by many mainstream and less scientific methods, healing is often found in words that strike a chord, sparking a quest to regain life as a whole person. Gezinta's objective is to deliver words to inspire and uplift, and provide a platform to share your story if it helps you heal.

Oprah On Parental Estrangement: Is She Capitalizing On The Problem She Created?
I’m an estranged parent and was once a huge Oprah fan. Do I regret letting my kids watch the Oprah show with me? Absolutely!
Yet Oprah has a new, again monetized platform on a trendy subject. Would I trust what she has to say? Absolutely not! Those who eventually know better do better.
Ways To Heal From Estrangement As A Parent
Likely, the skills you learn along the way and the emotional growth will mean that if and when your child reconnects, you are best placed not to mess it up. But it's best not to make that your goal. Look within for you. For you. For your better, happier life.
Finding The Meaning Of Suffering: Part Of The Human Condition
Finding meaning in suffering seems a little counterproductive. Suffering is what you want release from, yet by finding meaning in it, you hold onto it, putting it at the centre of your life, your identity. Yet finding meaning in suffering can be one of the most cathartic experiences.
How Self-Sabotage Fuels Fear Of Success
Perhaps the most frustrating part of the fear of success is self-sabotage. You know you can do something, yet somehow you can't. After working hard towards a goal and achieving some success along the way, it's often at the last hurdle that we inexplicably throw in the towel. Because there’s that seed of doubt someone planted deep in your psyche as a permanent reminder that you don’t deserve success.
The Meaning Of Hope: Humanity, Dreams, and Destiny
And to corrupt René Descartes' philosophy, I think, therefore I am. I live, love, and especially hope. Nobody promised us life would be fair, but we still have hope that our lives will be happy and meaningful. It’s how humans are built.
Deconstructing Parental Estrangement: The Helter-Skelter Trend That Deconstructs Lives
The Helter Skelter scenario is an apocalyptic vision reportedly embraced by serial killer and cult leader Charles Manson and members of his "family" that led to several brutal murders and a multitude of ruined lives. It's much the same with Parental Estrangement. Except that with the Parental Estrangement scenario within families, the bodies are not physically dead, but the nothingness that is left within can feel like it, until we find ourselves on a healing path, make sens
Kinkeeper Reapers: The Heartbroken Houses Of Svengali Spouses & Louses
A kinkeeper- the gatekeeper to the family, is a family member, usually, but not always, a woman, who takes on the role of maintaining family connections and fostering a sense of solidarity within the family circle. Authentic kinkeepers play a key role in keeping the family together, acting as the emotional glue that holds things humming along despite family tensions that rise from time to time. It's a vital role in a world where connection with family is weakening, and ment
Emotional Gold Diggers: Lion-hearts Who Dig Anywhere But Within For Emotions
Men, particularly lion-hearted men, tend to disown their emotions, and the emotions of others, or at least assign them significantly less prominence than say putting food on the table- including their quest to earn a good living in their career or business, which, some think will be key to getting to be the one to copulate with the lioness, but also to give their families a better life.

Cutting A Narcissistic Parent Out Your Life

The Unfathomably Inhuman Act Of Dehumanizing A Human Family Member
Once limited to being an essential weapon for narcissists and psychopaths, dehumanization has seeped into many facets of life, as people struggle to survive and strive to thrive. Too many people choo se to dehumanize those around them as a response to conflicting motives, denying full humanity in others, cruelly inflicting suffering . The so-called personal growth through the generations has shifted from the stoic “Greatest Generation’s” selflessness and willingness to sacr
Propaganda Wreaks Havoc In Families: How F**kheads & Flying Monkeys Destroy Their Family To Get Their Own Sweet Way
Propaganda, the spread of vicious lies with the very specific intent of creating a particular narrative in the short term to grab power and resources in the medium to long term, isn't limited to Nazis. While they may have almost perfected the dark, destructive art of propaganda that has been prevalent throughout history, most political parties now spew propaganda as a matter of course. Many governments, particularly authoritarian ones , do so as a matter of course. So do narc
The Life-Changing Value Of Owning Your Core Values
Values, the principles by which we live, come in all forms, but the value of terminal values —that include happiness and inner peace —is at the core of who we are, and can redirect our fate. What Are Values? The word “value” also has many meanings- each equally valuable: Value: The regard that something is held to deserve, or the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. Something of value has merit or worth. Value: The principles or standards of behaviour based on that
