As a therapist specializing in couples and trauma, I find R.D. Laing's “Knots” to be a timeless inspiration for understanding human entanglement.
The excerpt quoted focuses on how duty and self-sacrifice can unintentionally block genuine connection and joy. I was around 28 when I first found this work, and it reinforced my commitment to helping clients untangle these profound relational “knots”.
