Andare all’ikea come terapia di coppia

Andare all’ikea come terapia di coppia?

 

Lo so, starete già pensando che è una follia, innumerevoli sono i casi di persone che conosco che quando mettono piede all’Ikea con il proprio partner litigano e si spazientiscono.

 

Paolo Migone , ne fece un monologo memorabile , lo potete vedere qui

 

Per molti sembrerà impossibile ma quello che la terapista Ramani Durvasula, in California, ha chiesto a due suoi giovani pazienti in terapia di coppia è stato proprio di andare all’ikea acquistare un mobile e montarlo insieme.

 

terapia di coppia all’ikea

 

Una proposta bizzarra, ma chiunque si sia trovato nella situazione di dover assemblare un mobile del grande magazzino svedese sa quanto la capacità di collaborare, la pazienza e la soddisfazione poi di aver realizzato qualcosa insieme, l’aver costruito un arredo per la propria casa possano dare soddisfazione.

 

Non vi rimane che provare Kallax o Pax che sia, la vostra coppia ne uscirò fortificata…o distrutta per sempre 😉

 

Quindi Buon Kallax a tutti!

In a statement to ABC News, IKEA noted that customers aren't required to assemble their own furniture if they don't want to.

"At IKEA, our goal is to create a better everyday life at home," the statement read. "To make shopping at IKEA stress free and enjoyable, we offer a number of options. Customers ... can choose from several service options to make the final process easy. This includes IKEA picking their chosen items for them in the store, picking and delivering them to their home or a combo of three; picking, delivering and assembling their new products. All these choices contribute to having a great IKEA shopping experience."

However, Durvasula joked, putting together a piece of Ikea furniture is as real as a real-life experiment can be.

"Let’s face it, you won't have an affluent couple doing this," she said. "They will be like most of us -- the 99 percent."

Hidalgo and Aguirre chose a shelving unit and were able to finish building it in about an hour, even though they didn't have the instructions, at first. Durvasula noted that their communication appeared "collaborative," because they used questions instead of commands to finish the task and compromised.

"When she was not able to do something, you didn't criticize her," Durvasula told Hidalgo, also noting that couples can "fake" politeness only "for a minute" when trying to accomplish a task.

Durvasula added that a "busted, broken-up [piece of] Ikea furniture is forever a monument of something that went wrong." She said it's "almost like a picture of the girl your husband cheated on you with."

"No matter what, I get clinical data," she said. "It’s a win for me, though it may not be for them."

For Hidalgo and Aguirre, the exercise proved fruitful.

When asked after meeting with her how they felt about moving in together, Hidalgo said, "I feel much better. I mean, building the piece of furniture didn't seem like much. It was just fun, but now that she analyzed it, I feel much, much better about it.”
