So het elkeen sy eie persoonlike ervarings van 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoogtepunte, op \u2019n kollektiewe vlak, is goeie re\u00ebnval met \u2019n fantastiese landboujaar \u2013 dankie en geluk aan die boere. Aan die anderkant, groot skade en ook lewensverlies as gevolg van vloede en storms. Ook ons meegevoel met geliefdes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mens kry die gewaarwording toe Covid soos \u2019n donderstorm vervaag, begin gevalle en verliese van kanker al hoe meer op die radar verskyn. Op \u2019n persoonlike vlak het baie mense traumatiese verliese beleef met gepaardgaande rouprosesse. Die oumense het nogal geglo \u201ctyd heel alles\u201d \u2013 ek neem dit met \u2019n knippie sout. Verlieservarings, ook van geliefdes, vereis gewoonlik \u2019n rouproses. Dis belangrik om soos \u2019n Comradesmarathon in die proses te bly, deur die emosies te werk, die moontlike skuldgevoelens en klarigheid oor te kry en die <i>unfinished<\/i> te <i>finish<\/i>. Die rouproses is soos wasgoed op \u2019n wasgoeddraad, boonste randjie is al droog, terwyl water nog uit die moue en kraag drup. Met ander woorde party dae gaan \u201cdroog\u201d (beter) wees, ander weer \u201cnat\u201d, meer hartseer. \u2019n Gesonde rouroetine kan die rouproses ondersteun: kry \u2019n foto van die geliefde, sit op \u2019n private plekkie met \u2019n kers en boekie. As jy oggende en aande die behoefte voel, gaan sit by foto, steek die kers aan, skryf gevoelens, woorde en ervarings neer wat opkom, en ventileer so totdat jy \u201cdroog\u201d gedrup het. As jy gereed is vir <span>closure<\/span>, doen \u2019n ritueeltjie vir laaste respek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan, oor hierdie groot dae wat \u2019n eerste is sonder geliefdes, besluit op ritueeltjie, soos \u2019n foto op Oukersaand van \u2019n geliefde waar julle kuier, steek \u2019n kers aan, toon respek en geniet saamwees met familie en vriende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die jaar het ook vele uitdagings gehad \u2013 geweld, misdaad, beurtkrag, storms, skade, finansi\u00eble verliese. Die effek van \u201cOujaarsaand op jou\u201d is nie meer die gebeurtenis nie, maar hoe jy oor dit dink. Hou introspeksie, sien die fout raak, leer die lewenslesse daaruit en maak van die Nuwejaar \u2019n begin-fase van groei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In die sielkunde kom <i>post traumatic growth<\/i> sterk na vore om hulpeloosheid, magteloosheid en mislukking deur jou eie keuse te omskep in persoonlike groei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fokus op lesse geleer, watter sterkpunte en vorige ervarings van jou persoonlike groei kan aanhelp. En \u2019n verdieping van die geestelike en religieuse dimensie van jou lewe kan persoonlike groei versnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sou die trauma vasklou in jou psige, kan ons dit verwyder met BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy), en gestoor in jou liggaam, kan jy dit uit \u201ctremor\u201d deur TRE (Trauma and Tension Release Exercies) in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jou menswees, jou sterkpunte, jou vorige ervarings, jou geestelik geanker wees, met 2023 voor jou is dit die ware geleentheid vir groei en sukses \u2013 hang natuurlik af hoe jy daaroor dink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gese\u00ebnde Kersfees en voorspoedige Nuwejaar vir 2023 \u2013 met die geleentheid vir persoonlike groei en sukses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* <i>Dr. Gielie van Dyk is \u2019n plaaslike kliniese sielkundige, kontak hom gerus by 022 714 1101 of epos gvdyk@mylan.co.za<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ek hoor mense s\u00ea dit was \u2019n moeilike jaar, uitdagende jaar, traumatiese jaar, opwindende jaar \u2013 loadshedding, ag nee!
