Study Notes

Circumscribing

Circumscribing occurs when a person loses themselves in a relationship, neglecting self-care
It's a form of relationship rebalancing, creating a personal bubble
Stagnation happens when this bubble expands, leading to reduced self-disclosure
Recognizing this stage involves increasing time allocated to oneself

Terminating

Terminating a relationship involves completely severing ties
This can be a necessary action in certain circumstances
Not all relationships are meant to last indefinitely

Dialectical Tensions

Dialectical tensions arise from conflicting forces existing simultaneously
Integration-Separation: desire for both connection and independence coexists
Inclusion-Seclusion: balancing close relationships with personal space is a constant challenge
Stability-Change: acknowledging the need for stability and resisting stagnation is important
Expression-Privacy: balancing the need for open expression with the desire for privacy is a constant challenge
