Abstrakt/ Abstract: The contemporary social context is marked by increasing value pluralism, fragmentation, and the loss of shared certainties. These processes are reflected in individual and group psychodynamics and profoundly affect the quality of interpersonal communication. The paper devoted to value fissures and bridges, values as a compass for communication presents a psychodynamic therapy that employs work with positive life and spiritual values as a means of restoring inner integrity and harmonizing relational bonds. The psychodynamic therapy rests on the premise that communication dysfunctions, conflicts, and alienation often originate in so-called value fissures, misalignments between personal, interpersonal, and culturally shared values. Targeted reflection on these fissures through guided dialogue, symbolic work, and psychodynamic techniques enables participants to become aware of their own value structures, transform inner tensions, and renew their capacity for empathy and understanding. On a theoretical level, the contribution is based on psychodynamic concepts of relational attachment. The contribution presents the corresponding psychodynamic therapy. The aim of the contribution is to show that conscious work with values can function as an integrating element in communication and also a tool for restoring mutual trust. Values are not conceived here as a normative system, but as a dynamic compass that allows orientation in interpersonal relationships and contributes to their healing.
