In healthy relationships with a strong connection, however, each person can pay attention to the other without losing or compromising their sense of self. Neither changes who they are or what they think or feel to please the other person. They can be apart without falling apart and be together without losing their individuality. Love is about the freedom to be yourself and be loved just the way you are, even if it's different from your partner.

I think I had to learn about how to tangle/untangle, learn about "distance" and how to do the relationship dance with my therapist; be vulnerable but not fall apart if my need was not met, be able to "spring back" and center/balance again.
