In this episode of the Atlas of Being, hosts Elias Rowen and Celine Hart delve into the complex topic of emotional unavailability (EU). They explore how the EU is often misunderstood as indifference when, in fact, it is a defense mechanism rooted in childhood emotional neglect. The conversation covers the physiological responses associated with EU, the behavioral indicators in relationships, and the damaging pursuer-distancer dynamic. They also discuss the internal costs of emotional loneliness and provide pathways for recognition and change, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and the potential for healing through conscious effort.
