Yes, it applies to all relationships. The more time that goes on between contact the less connected I feel to a person and before long, their placement in my sphere of comfort is way out there that they might as well be a stranger and I won't share anything of myself with them. The only people that don't fall in this category is my siblings. Hmm, interesting... with me and my siblings it can feel like that is happening but as soon as we are together, it's like no time has passed. Something to put in the idea jar to talk about when there is less going on in my therapy.
