Deep dives
Understanding Emotional Distance
Emotional distance plays a critical role in maintaining healthy relationships, as it differs from physical distance. Too much closeness can lead to emotional fusion, where individuals lose their sense of self, resulting in either over-functioning or conflict. Conversely, excessive emotional distance, or cutoff, can create a void that harms both parties involved. A healthy emotional distance allows individuals to support one another while retaining their unique identities, enabling effective communication and connection even with those who are anxious.
