Flight: When Transition Makes Us Disappear

from For Love Only · host Faith Joyner, PhD

Flight is quieter than fight. It does not announce itself with a raised voice or a sharp word. It slips out through a changed subject. A suddenly full schedule. A text left on read. A version of yourself that shows up to the relationship while the rest of you has already left the room. And during major life transitions, flight becomes one of the most common responses we reach for because when everything around us is shifting, disappearing feels like the safest thing we can do. Today we are going to look at what that costs us.
