    David Schnarch: Intimität und Verlangen in langen Beziehungen

    Best quote from David Schnarch: Intimität und Verlangen in langen Beziehungen

    “

    Differenzierung bedeutet nicht Distanzierung, sondern die Fähigkeit, in Kontakt mit einem Menschen zu bleiben, der einem extrem wichtig ist, und dabei trotzdem man selbst zu bleiben. Je unabhängiger ich emotional bin, desto tiefer kann ich mich einlassen.

    ”
