- Abstract:
- The chapter presents a comprehensive psychological analysis of the «twin flames» phenomenon, which has become widespread in popular culture. The study aims to demystify this concept and translate it from an esoteric plane into scientific discourse. Based on a synthesis of attachment theory (J. Bowlby), analytical psychology (C. G. Jung), and the concept of limerence (D. Tennov), a model for differentiating between «true» and «false» forms of connection is proposed. The «false twin flame» is viewed not as a mistaken choice, but as a necessary catalyst that activates unresolved traumas and shadow aspects of the personality. The «true» connection, in turn, is interpreted as the result of successful psychological integration and the formation of a mature attachment. The chapter substantiates a three-center model of therapeutic work (somatic, emotional, and cognitive levels) for transforming destructive patterns activated in such relationships. The research opens up prospects for developing valid therapeutic strategies to help individuals experiencing intense and crisis-ridden interpersonal connections described in terms of «twin flames».
