@stephanne221: Replying to @Hannah Montanna Attunement is a bid to connect, not control. The hope is that you will your freedom to choose closeness in that moment. However, so many people are not met with authentic attunement, especially early on. And they had to learn to adapt to the absence of connection and presence of being overpowered and controlled. Often what that looked like was: —> “I need to erase myself for them to feel good,” Or —> “I need to abandon myself for them to feel good.” Is it possible this man was fawning his repair? Definitely. Only he knows that answer. However in safe, emotionally secure, interdependent romantic relationships, attunement is safe and reciprocal. #communication #emotionalintelligence #couplestiktok #therapytok #attachmentstyle
