Inna was one of those clients who take over the initiative straight away, barely noticing that they have taken it over. People like her have "I’m alive!!!" written on their forehead in huge red letters framed with flashing coloured bulbs — and for anyone slow on the uptake or short-sighted, Inna will always demonstrate her enjoyment of life in practice. Not because she has to, but because she simply cannot do otherwise.
The reasons for an affair on the side are very individual. Usually they share one common trigger: the unfaithful partner is looking for a kind of closeness or recognition that they believe they have not found in the relationship. Do not tell yourself: "that only happens to other couples". It can happen to any couple.
Ivan and Nina registered with us at roughly the same time, and at their very first interview both announced how much they disliked Charlotte York. The thing is, part of our own test for determining temperament and personality type is choosing characters from well-known TV series, and Charlotte was one of them.
They had both had a fairly wild youth and both had had time to grow disappointed with life. It was probably that very weariness and disappointment that brought them to us. They did not know where to look, or whom to look for, and were not sure why. You could say that neither of them was in good shape — certainly not in their best shape.
