New questions: Connection to Israel - nostalgic, romantic VS never coming back, and why. have you been in a relocation before that, have you been to relocation during your childhood? what was the reason for your relocation? how was the family reaction for the relocation? Sensory: connection to smell, senses - music from the guitar, relations to food - losing/gaining weight, meditation - peace and quite/group sessions connection to time and compass Interviews: S lives in London for 3 years, came with her partner and 2 small girls. planned the move for several years, came highly prepared, with EU passport (hers) The move was immigration and not time limited relocation. So she immediately started to look for a job. She considered the first year as hard but wonderful. She felt she was able to fit in easier than her partner, and that caused some tension as well When leaving in Israel they were experiencing some relationship problems but was able to maintain them, using many friends and family support and as a buffer. Once they moved to London, they were just the two of them and there was not many friends, family or other buffers in their relationship. Sensory - Music and songs: S is very connected to Israeli music. while leaving in Israel she was part of a band that performed covers of Israeli songs (as a hobby). She quit the band before the move, and she misses the sing-a-long of the Israeli songs. She was looking for something similar here but couldn't found, so she decided to learn how to play the guitar, as part of her recreating her musical experience from Israel. She feels the music saved her life. At first when they got separated she felt lost, didn't know who she was, she felt very stressful and disconnected and couldn't concentrate on anything, the only thing that she was able to concentrate on was practising her guitar, it's a meditative tool she was able to use and enjoy and help her overcome the stress she felt. She keeps practising and playing the guitar with the same devotion. Photo albums - when they got separated, she was obsessed with her photo album, she brought with her just a few when they moved to London, she misses photo and photo album, that she can hold and not just view digitally, the physical touch of the photos - from her childhood but not only. After the separation, she felt she became more possessive about her CDs and photo albums Mantra
Throughout the therapy, she had this self-soothing mantra:
"it's temporary and I've got the power" Translated from herbrew: G left Israel three years ago 3 שנים לימודי פסיכולוגיה עזבו כהגירה לא רומנטיזציה מחוברת למוזיקה הישראלית החלטה לעשות בעצמי את המוזיקה הגיטרה הצילה לה את החיים - מתרכזת באימון בגיטרה לא ניתן להתרכז בשום דבר מדיטציה לא יודעת מי אני, לא מצליחה להרגיע את עצמי, סטרס, מאבדת את זה. תוך כדי היתה צריכה אלבומים, תמונות נהיתה רכושנית בעקבות ההגירה והפרידה - ספרים והדיסקים אני זה הדיסקים בשלב מאוחר בפרידה, הרגעה עצמית - זה זמני והכוח אצלי השליטה אצלי it's temporary and i've got the power
