Connection can be repaired through emotional bonding from "summary" of Love Sense by Dr. Sue Johnson
The fundamental belief that underlies all my work and my book is that humans are wired to connect with others. We are social creatures, and our emotional bonds with loved ones are essential for our well-being. When these connections are broken or damaged, it can lead to feelings of loneliness, sadness, and despair. However, the good news is that these bonds can be repaired through emotional bonding. By tuning into our emotions and communicating our needs to our partners, we can rebuild the trust and closeness that may have been lost. This process involves being vulnerable and open with our feelings, as well as being willing to listen to and empathize with our partner's emotions. Emotional bonding is not just about sharing positive emotions; it also involves being present with each other during times of conflict or distress. When we are able to turn towards our partners in times of need, rather than away from them, it strengthens our bond and creates a sense of security and safety in the relationship. This emotional responsiveness is what allows us to feel truly connected to our partners and to experience a deep sense of intimacy and closeness. Repairing a connection through emotional bonding requires both partners to be willing to engage in honest and open communication. This means being willing to express our needs and desires, as well as being able to listen and respond to our partner's emotional cues. It also involves being able to offer comfort and support when our partner is feeling upset or vulnerable. By creating a safe and supportive environment for each other to express their emotions, couples can deepen their emotional bond and create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship. In summary, the concept of repairing a connection through emotional bonding is about recognizing the importance of emotional intimacy in relationships and being willing to engage in open and honest communication with our partners. By tuning into our emotions, being present with each other during times of distress, and offering comfort and support when needed, we can rebuild trust and closeness in our relationships. This process requires vulnerability, empathy, and a willingness to be emotionally responsive to our partners, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
