What happens when your life's work and personal story intertwine in the most profound way? In this episode of 'Affliction & Resilience', Judy Mandel sits down with Kristina E. Schellinski, a therapist who has a unique dual perspective—both as a professional treating replacement children and as a replacement child herself. Kristina, a supervising and teaching analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, opens up about her journey and how it shapes her approach to therapy.
Kristina's insights are deeply rooted in her own experiences, offering a rare glimpse into the emotional landscape of those who are born to 'replace' a lost sibling. She talks about the challenges of finding one's true self amidst the shadow of a sibling who came before. Kristina emphasizes the importance of self-recognition and mirroring, which can help individuals navigate their own identity and overcome adversity.
Through her work and personal reflections, Kristina sheds light on the complexities of the replacement child condition, urging parents to resist the urge to 'replace' a lost child. Her book, 'Individuation for Adult Replacement Children: Ways of Coming into Being', serves as a guide for those grappling with these issues, offering practical advice and emotional support. This episode is not just for those directly affected by the replacement child condition.
It's a compelling listen for anyone interested in personal growth, resilience, and the intricate ways our past shapes our present. Judy Mandel's conversation with Kristina E. Schellinski is both thought-provoking and inspiring, making it a must-listen for those seeking to understand and overcome life's challenges.
