Couples Intimacy Quiz : [ Ссылка ]
I'm discussing the concept of emotional detachment or 'cutoff' in relationships, particularly within the framework of Murray Bowen's family therapy theories in couples therapy. It delves into how emotional cutoff can be a response to chronic anxiety and stress, and the detrimental impact it can have on relationships. I explaine the interconnected nature of family systems and the importance of differentiation—separation of thoughts, feelings, self, and others—for psychological health. The script offers three practical tools—'Drop In,' 'Move In,' and 'Dig In'—to help individuals become more differentiated, reduce chronic anxiety, and enhance emotional intimacy, lower the chances of cut off and improve emotional intimacy in their relationships.
