ABSTRACT: In her article, “Elizabeth’s Journey: Transformation of Trauma,” the author describes the psychotherapeutic process of a woman with a family history which included multiple traumatic circumstances including  alcohol use disorder, abandonment and more. The patient, with a history of treament for thyroid cancer which included surgery and chemotherapy, reported feeling depressed after childbirth when she had to remain at home alone with her baby for a substantial period. The author notes that the client had experienced early trauma in the mother-child relationship and psychological and physical abandonment. She suffered from insecure attachment, etc. During the course of two years of therapy, the client created fifteen sandplay scenes. The client’s process presented a journey of transformation of the negative mother complex and more consciously the patient was aware that the relationship with her father still needed work. Termination was successful in the context of a positive psychotherapeutic relationship and the client went on to continue to engage with life affirming experiences outside therapeutic container.

ANOTĀCIJA:  Rakstā tiek aplūkots smilšu spēļu terapijas process ar pacienti, kura bija vērsusies pēc palīdzības sakarā ar pēcdzemdību depresiju. Savas dzīves laikā sievietei nācās sastapties arī ar onkoloģisku saslimšanu.

Ir aprakstīti teorētiskie aspekti par agrīno bērnu traumatizāciju, psihisko disociāciju, un viņu saikni ar psihosomatisku (onkoloģiju) un depresijas saslimšanu.

Tiek analizēta psihoterapijas procesa dinamika smilšu bildēs: no distances starp vājo ego un Patību līdz pacientes visas garīgās struktūras veseluma izveidošanos, kas simboliski izteikta mandalas formā.

Ir parādīts, kā, pateicoties psihoterapijas procesam, negatīvā mātes kompleksa transformācija noveda ne tikai pie patoloģisko simptomu izzušanas, bet arī palīdzēja pacientei attīstīt un dziļi pārveidot savu sievišķo dvēseli visā tās integritātē, veicinot individuācijas procesa uzsākšanos.

АННОТАЦИЯ:  В статье описывается случай лечения пациентки с послеродовой депрессией. Рассмотрены теоретические аспекты формирования ранней детской травмы, психической диссоциации и их связи с развитием психосоматических (онкологических) и депрессивных заболеваний в последствии.

Проанализирована динамика психотерапевтического процесса в песочных картинах: от дистанции между слабым эго и Самостью до формирования целостности всей психической структуры пациентки, символически выраженной в образе мандалы.

Показано как благодаря процессу психотерапии трансформация негативного материнского комплекса привела не только к исчезновению патологических симптомов, но и помогла пациентке развить и глубоко преобразить свою женскую душу во всей её целостности, способствовала началу процесса индивидуации.
