A path to change
Since I stopped our sessions, I have applied more and more of what you taught me and it’s a very nice result. I’m on a path to change that makes me feel good and you were right that people will follow me. People who love me have followed me and I find that there are quite a lot of them, and others have joined in.
I have surrounded myself with nothing but beautiful, cheerful people from whom I am always learning something new.
THANK YOU! And help all other people as much as you have helped me.

Awakening and acceptance
Hello Mr. Manea, I want to thank you for helping me to wake up and accept my reality, for guiding me, and for clarifying jealousy and the notion of family.
Now for me, the situation is much clearer, these sessions with you have really helped me.
At the moment I want to integrate everything in my life to take visible measures and change my reality.
Thank you once again and I wish you all the best and much success in everything you do.

Bouncing from rock bottom
I arrived at the office of Mr. Manea in one of those moments when I could no longer find the meaning of my existence, overwhelmed by the weight of huge mistakes that had left such deep trenches in my soul that, to survive, I had resorted to an amazing trick of the mind: I had erased everything that did not suit me.
I have said all this by way of introduction, but I don’t insist for two reasons: the first is that, unfortunately, many of you know what I’m talking about, you’ve been there yourself at some point. Secondly, it’s about personal boundaries that at some point in life we have to learn to respect (i.e. we don’t have to poke each other’s eyes out with our problems – the backward country of our talented people has always been a whining contest).
Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is that, in seven therapy sessions, Mr. Manea lifted me from the ground and taught me how to walk… “Slowly, don’t forget, slowly!”. I know that most of my success is due to my will and fairness towards myself and those around me, which I made the basic principle for my reconstruction and becoming.
But this man guided me into the darkness of my mind, where I thought terrible monsters lurked. I don’t think his questions and remarks took up more than 10% of my therapy sessions, but they were the right ones at the right time.
He nagged me, encouraged me, took an interest in my moods, even made fun of me, and never for a second let me victimize myself or lose myself again. I changed my attitude and found out who I am and what I want in just seven weeks.
Guided by him, I listened to my intuition and found my meaning. I now know my path and how I must walk it, without wandering, without forks in the road, without jumping over fences or shortcutting through the twists and turns. And if I ever get lost again, I now have a point of reference: Claudiu Manea’s psychotherapy practice.

Awareness of who I am
It all works out in the end … 🙂
I’ve actually been meaning to write to you for a while but kept putting it off (I don’t know why…); I just want to say that the discussions with you did me a lot of good and I’m so glad I had them.
I stopped coming to you because I decided that it would be better to start to accept everything that has happened and cannot be changed, to accept living my own life without feeling guilty (although I still have this sometimes – I may not get rid of it all) and to see how I can apply what I have read and discussed with you. Although regarding my mother I should come and talk to her until the end of my life because she still maintains her manipulative strategy through messages of victimization, accusation, suffering, etc. I have however become much more focused on myself and my life and more detached to her suffering and tears conveyed through these messages. Although I continue to return the few phone calls she gives me and only occasionally messages but in a positive sense, help her with money if she needs it, I still maintain my firm stance that everyone should get on with their lives, everyone should stay at home and take responsibility for their past and future actions.
I’m starting to become more aware of who I am and what I want in relationships with men (I’m going to apply it 🙂 ) and I seem to be starting to want to give up my state of hermitage that I’m in now (and that I didn’t dislike); although now it’s the crown brought up … so … 🙂 .
Anyway, not to bore you too much, the point is that everything is heading in a good direction … at least I like to think so 🙂
and I hope that, if I need to talk to someone else, you will welcome me.
I wish you all the best!

Empathetic, professional approach
I have been doing individual therapy for over a year, an experience I find more than helpful. It was not my first contact with psychotherapy, I have been through other clinics, but I think there must be a certain compatibility between therapist and client. What I appreciated in Claudiu was the rational, pragmatic, professional, and empathetic approach he showed. I always had the feeling that he “speaks my language” and that he understands me, which helped me to open up.
The process was not necessarily easy, some moments were even difficult, but I felt that I had the necessary support to get through those moments.

Different approach
Hello Mr Manea,
Thank you very much for your help.
I’m glad you took time out of your day and thank goodness there are people like you!!!
I’ll try to approach things differently… and I know that one day I will succeed.
With my best regards

An ounce of hope
I thought the article on borderline disorder was excellent. Excellent for being painful and realistic! I spent 1h reading it carefully. Incredible. With amazement and fear at the same time.
I’ve been searching the internet for something on the topic of co-dependent relationships lately, thinking that’s where the suffering comes from.
But I found your article most appropriate, complete, clear, effective in understanding both parties involved and the negative impact on the relationship, not just the “problem person”.
Why did I end up searching for this tonight? From a search about “people who think others are always plotting on them” and “your girlfriend continually seeks your attention, but when you need it you feel rejection”.
I’m in a relationship with a borderline personality it seems. And she’s my girlfriend. It all ties together, it’s exactly as you wrote in many examples, even though the article is about couple relationship. It applies to my friendship relationship.
I understand that I lose anyway. Actually now I don’t want to understand that.
How can I help her? How can I help myself? If I reread the article…I answer my own questions….
I guess I just wanted you to know how I felt when I read it.
And maybe the ounce of hope in me made me write to you, with the thought that maybe something could be done to straighten out the relationship.
With much appreciation and gratitude!

I know that I can accept myself
Good morning! My name is Gina for friends. We don’t know each other, but I would like you to know that you saved my life.
On the last day of the year I got out of a relationship with a narcissist. There had been countless red flags, but part of my personality traits revolved around co-dependency, so I didn’t fully understand the springs of narcissistic personality disorder until after reading about it on cabinetclaudiumanea.ro
Why do they say you saved my life? Because I was very close to that mind trap where only I was to blame for failure, even though I had done superhumanly well. I spent the last day of the year crying, with pills and a bottle of booze by my side. It was another failed relationship (my fault). To get rid of the pain I had to understand. Or disappear. I somehow chose the former. I started looking. And I found it. I understood that his reactions were not my responsibility. That narcissists despise emotional authenticity, and that the moment I showed him how I felt, he only despised me more.
I understood including the part about the false self and how it monopolizes those who construct it. And how he always demands more. I had never looked at the Narcissus myth like that. The reflection in the water was nothing but a false projection of the real self. It also saved me from understanding how narcissistic rage manifests itself. With me it was punishment by silence. Extremely hard to endure. Mutitating for a man who verbalizes his states and is authentically emotional, as I am.
I.understood that I had to stop looking for ways to please him. That it’s necessary to set my boundaries and respect them. And that this does not mean selfishness. I understood that I can accept myself, with all my hurts. That I can look them in the face and try to heal them.
For all this and much more that cannot be expressed in words, thank you. I am alive today because I found you.
