It shows how \u2018dependent love\u2019<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>ensures our survival and makes no mistakes in doing so.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the second part, he examines the other pole of love,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u2018self-love.\u2019 It is concerned with growth and has no<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>interest in survival and control. It seeks fulfilment<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>and devotion and can lead us to a more relaxed inner<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>adulthood, to living in the \u2018now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The third part is about how and why we unconsciously<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>activate the survival strategies of the past in similar<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>situations today, such as in conflicts,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>symptoms or crises. As soon as we recognise these inner \u2018echoes\u2019,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>acknowledge them and entrust ourselves to the present,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>we become calmer, freer and more powerful inside.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gessner-aufstellungen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ge%C3%9Fner_Wie-wir-lieben_Leseprobe.pdf\"><b><strong>How we love \u2013 excerpt<\/strong><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b><strong>Order the book<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.innenwelt-verlag.de\/lebenshilfe-inneres-wachstum\/wie-wir-lieben-978-3-942502-88-7\">directly from the publisher<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Wie-wir-lieben-alles-vermeiden\/dp\/3942502887\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522745693&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Thomas+Ge%DFner\">at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My book is about \u2018how unconscious love shapes our lives out of an inner necessity\u2019 and how we can benefit from this today. \u2018How we love.
