Connection versus Autonomy
No one is an island. Recognizing this fact, we seek out involvment with others. But, at the same time we are unwilling to sacrifice our entire identity to even the most satisfying relationship. This is called connection-autonomy dialect
The life cycle
Hold me tight
Put me down
Leave me alone
We need to balance desires for self with the desires for the relationship
hold me tight * small children *new relationships
put me down *''I can do it myself''' *couples start activities that do not involve eachother
Leave me alone *Teenager *we need space
