Chapter 1: The Beginning of Transformation

The story of Kostya and me began through a mutual friend who introduced us after his recent divorce. At that moment, he was grappling with the reality of no longer being Natasha's husband. He appeared on my screen, his face reflecting a mix of despair and disbelief. Although we were separated by hundreds of kilometers, this distance seemed to work in our favor as we embarked on this journey together.

As a fledgling psychologist, I was navigating my own tumultuous experiences, which made me question how I could assist Kostya, who was recently separated from his first wife. Yet, two years later, I can confidently say that our efforts paid off!

Kostya spent 24 years married to Natasha, during which they raised two wonderful sons. They worked together at a large company, but unbeknownst to him, Natasha had long been in love with someone else.

Do I really need to elaborate on the emotional turmoil he endured? After all those years, his wife chose to leave, and their marriage—which bore two children, one of whom had battled a serious illness—was falling apart. This was a marriage that had weathered the challenges of his parents’ health struggles and the construction of their dream home. Such a significant span of time cannot simply be erased.

Kostya began attending weekly consultations with me, and our mutual belief in each other became the cornerstone of his progress. He diligently completed the tasks I assigned and returned each week, unwavering in his commitment. Part of me hoped he might skip a session, but his determination was unwavering. His dedication inspired me to delve deeper into the intricacies of psychology.

After three months of our work together, he took a significant step: he signed up on a dating platform. Within six months, he was traveling to meet someone special, and a year later, she was visiting him for New Year’s. Following this, he sold his house, transitioned to a new city for her, and eventually, they got married. The culmination of our efforts led to what many would define as simple human happiness—a loving wife, a nurturing family, a cozy home, and a fulfilling job.

Distance, while often seen as a barrier, can sometimes serve as a crucial ally in the healing process. For Kostya, the physical separation from his past life allowed him the space to reflect and rebuild.
