Do you need a break — from a relationship, from therapy, or just from life? In this episode, licensed psychotherapist Thaís Sky explores the psychology behind taking a break, unpacking when distance is truly restorative and when it's actually conflict avoidance or fear of intimacy in disguise. Drawing on psychoanalytic therapy principles, she explores how dependency in relationships, attachment issues, and emotional regulation all shape our urge to step away. Whether you're considering a relationship break, a therapy break, or just craving self-awareness around your own relationship patterns, this episode offers thoughts to help you next time you are considering a break.
