Whether youve lost a job or a girlfriend, it wont take long before someone tells you, Dust yourself off. Time heals all wounds. 无论你是失去了工作还是女朋友，要不了多久就会有人告诉你，重新振作起来，时间会治愈所有的伤痛。 Yes, but how much time? 的确是这样，可是要多长时间呢? Experts say most people should give themselves a good two years to recover from an emotional trauma such as a breakup or the loss of a job. And if you were blindsided by the event -- your spouse left abruptly, you were fired unexpectedly -- it could take longer. 专家说大多数人应该给自己整整两年的时间以从分手或失业这样的感情创伤中恢复。如果发生的事情让你猝不及防──你的配偶突然离你而去，你毫无预料地遭到解雇──恢复起来可能需要花更长的时间。 That is more time than most people expect, says Prudence Gourguechon, a psychiatrist in Chicago and former president of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Its important to know roughly how long the emotional disruption will last. Once you get over the shock that it is going to be a long process, you can relax, Dr. Gourguechon says. You dont have to feel pressure to be OK, because youre not OK. 芝加哥的精神病学家、美国精神分析协会(the American Psychoanalytic Association)前主席普鲁登丝古尔格雄(Prudence Gourguechon)说，这比大多数人预计的时间要长。知道感情困扰持续的大致时间长短很重要。古尔格雄博士说，一旦你克服了那种震惊感，认可了恢复是一个漫长过程，你就可以放松了。你不必给自己压力，觉得自己应该没事，因为事实上你并不是没事。 |
