In this episode, we explore the quiet but powerful phenomenon of emotional withdrawal — when someone’s body is present, but their heart and mind have slowly checked out. You’ll learn what emotional withdrawal really is, why it happens, and how to spot the subtle signs in yourself and others before it’s too late. We’ll talk about the emotional intelligence skills needed to address it, the damage it can cause to trust and connection, and practical ways to rebuild emotional presence in relationships. Whether you’ve felt someone pull away from you or noticed yourself retreating, this conversation will help you understand the roots of withdrawal and take intentional steps toward reconnection.
