Deaconess and psychotherapist Dumitrina Gazzi: "Complete families have the capacity to communicate, to be grateful, and to ask for forgiveness"translated
More and more people feel lonely, even in the midst of their family or community. Relationships require attention, guidance, commitment, and effort to remain alive, and the unity of families can erode not only after major crises but also through a lack of dialogue, resentments, and wounds that are not healed.
About loneliness in family life, adolescent formation, and the role of family therapy, we spoke with Deaconess Dumitrina Gazzi, who is also a teacher and systemic family and couple psychotherapist. The interview was conducted within the #vinereapentruviață section.
Alexandra Nadane: You are a wife, deaconess, psychotherapist, and professor. How do these things fit into your life?
Dumitrina Gazzi: Indeed, I have these four roles, but they have appeared at different stages of my life, and I had the grace necessary to integrate them. Each has added something significant to how I relate to myself and understand others, relationships, and the responsibility of being close to another person. And each one helped me draw closer to God.
I strive to prioritize my role as a wife because family is where I maintain balance...
