When Life Stops. Trauma, Attachment, and Family Constellation

"When Life Stops" is a book about trauma and how, after experiencing loss, to become stronger. Swagito Libermeister, a spiritual teacher and psychotherapist, went through the death of his wife. At first, the author could not come to terms with his grief and saw no meaning in his life, but eventually, he managed to accept the loss and even transform the painful experience into something useful for his spiritual path. The book is intended to help readers who are experiencing significant upheavals. Swagito Libermeister shares how to cope with pain that seems insurmountable, as he once did himself. In the book, the author reflects on the nature of trauma, shares healing methods, and presents readers with practices and exercises that will help overcome despair. The leading approach in Swagito Libermeister's work is the method of family constellations. Practitioners claim that constellations can break the cycle of recurring and interconnected problems in a person's life and that of their loved ones, which may have been caused by events from the distant past or the disruption of social roles in the family.
