Abstract(s)
As relações com o outro moldam o ser humano em todos os aspetos, bem como o término das mesmas. Explorar mais aprofundadamente a vivência da separação amorosa pode, não só, possibilitar o desenvolver de uma melhor compreensão do processo de luto na relação amorosa, como também abrir caminho para novas técnicas de apoio à pessoa que o experiencia, viabilizando um acompanhamento mais eficaz de casos deste tipo em psicoterapia.
Deste modo, o objetivo principal deste estudo é compreender ao nível individual, a partir da perspetiva teórica psicanalítica, o processo de luto após uma separação amorosa significativa. Nomeadamente, verificar como foi sentido o processo da perda, as estratégias utilizadas para lidar com o luto, e identificar as principais emoções e sentimentos existentes pós separação. Para o efeito foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a cinco sujeitos, entre os vinte e quatro e os trinta e quatro anos.
Os resultados mostraram que todos os participantes sentiram algum tipo de pesar, tristeza ou dor, três dos cincos participantes sentiram alguma espécie de confusão, e dois dos participantes tiveram sentimentos de raiva. De destacar ainda que alguns dos participantes relatam ter cedido de mais na relação, um ceder tal, em prol da relação, que sentiram que deixaram de ser fiéis a si próprios, desviando-se consideravelmente da sua maneira de ser, ao ponto de quase não se reconhecerem, o que os levou, gradualmente, a um ponto de sofrimento e desgaste incomparável. No entanto, todos os participantes partilharam que sentiram sentimentos positivos como alívio, liberdade, maior realização, maior autoinvestimento e autoconhecimento, autossuficiência e um voltar a si próprios.
Relationships with others shape the human being in all aspects, as well as the end of them. Exploring more deeply the experience of loving separation can not only enable the development of a better understanding of the grieving process in the love relationship, but also pave the way for new techniques to support the person who experiences it, enabling a more effective monitoring of cases of this type in psychotherapy. Thus, the main objective of this study is to understand from the individual level, from the psychoanalytical theoretical perspective, the grieving process after a significant love separation. Namely, verify how the loss process was felt, the strategies used to deal with the grief, and identify the main emotions and feelings that existed after separation. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five subjects, between twenty-four and thirty-four years old. The results showed that all participants felt some kind of grief, sadness or pain, three of the five participants felt some kind of confusion, and two of the participants had feelings of anger. It should also be noted that some of the participants report having given in too much in the relationship, giving in such a way, in favor of the relationship, that they felt they were no longer loyal to themselves, reported having deviated considerably from their hobbies, routines and ways of being, to the point of barely recognizing themselves, which gradually brought them to a point of incomparable suffering and exhaustion. However, all participants shared that they felt positive feelings such as relief, freedom, greater fulfillment, greater self-investment and self-knowledge, self-reliance and a return to themselves.
