Disconnections are inevitable in relationships (Jordan, 2017). They may be the result of arguments or withdrawing after feeling disregarded, misunderstood, or unappreciated and can also be paired with feelings of shame and humiliation (Comstock et al., 2008). A disconnection can lead to emotional injury and isolation or provide an opportunity for relational growth. When individuals in a relationship, social or clinical, address a disconnection and work through the hurt, a closer, more authentic relationship is formed, which then advances individual and relational development and maturity. While disconnections are uncomfortable, addressing them openly is imperative for the ongoing, lifelong development presented by RCT.
