I get anxious in a relationship. I panic if my partner doesn't reply as usual. How can I relieve this?

Good day, questioner.

As a counselor based at Yixinli with a psychoanalytic-dynamic orientation, I would be delighted to answer your questions.

It seems that your anxiety may be triggered by the difficulty in getting a prompt response in an intimate relationship.

I can see that you are feeling rather confused.

The following explanations for separation anxiety are offered from a dynamic perspective.

The psychoanalytic school of thought suggests that separation anxiety may be primarily influenced by the child's

It is thought that transitional dependence on the primary caregiver, and fear and anxiety when separated from them, may be contributing factors.

It is thought that early separation experiences and the quality of the parent-child relationship may have a significant effect on the child's separation anxiety.

It is possible that they may be more likely to experience separation anxiety later in life.

It is possible that they may be more likely to experience separation anxiety issues later in life.

Another potential explanation from a dynamic perspective is that separation anxiety may be seen as a manifestation of an internal conflict.

On the one hand, children are naturally inclined to explore the outside world and develop their independence.

On the other hand, they may be fearful of losing the connection and sense of security with their primary caregiver.

It is possible that this internal conflict may cause the child to show emotional and behavioral reactions such as anxiety, crying, and resistance when separated.

It is possible that the separation anxiety experienced by adults may be caused by the activation of early separation trauma.

It would be beneficial to consider that if an individual changes caregivers multiple times for significant reasons between the ages of 0 and 3, especially if the infant is younger,

It could be said that the greater the trauma, because for an infant, changing to a new caregiver is akin to a threat of imminent death.

It may be the case that the separation anxiety of infants is more often experienced as death anxiety. After changing caregivers many times, it could be even more difficult to

It is possible that they may become sensitive and suspicious internally.

It may be the case that when they become adults and feel attention in a relationship, they are actually experiencing the trauma of separation from their early years.

It may regress to the psychological state of an infant, which could make it excessively sensitive and vulnerable.

I'm not sure what your anxious panic is like, or whether it's having a significant impact on the normal development of the relationship.

It might be helpful to consider dynamic-oriented counseling.

I will continue to support and care for you at Yi Xinli to the best of my abilities.

Greetings.

It is not uncommon for individuals in romantic relationships to experience a degree of separation anxiety.

In the context of romantic attachment, emotional bonds are formed between partners. These bonds are characterized by a strong desire to maintain proximity and connection with one another.

Therefore, when two individuals in a romantic relationship part ways, they may experience a range of emotions, including longing, apprehension, and insecurity. These feelings are indicative of the depth of their attachment and the significance they place on the relationship.

In the absence of such indications and in the absence of any particular emotional response to the act of leaving, it is possible to conclude that the love in question is not genuine.

It is evident that excessive separation anxiety, characterized by an inability to leave, pervasive suspicion and worry about being abandoned upon departure, and fear of loss, can impede normal work and study performance or the development of intimate relationships. In such cases, a certain degree of anxiety relief is necessary.

These reasons may be attributed to the influence of our social environment. Gender relations are more open, and there may be the involvement of a third or fourth party, which can result in feelings of nervousness. On the one hand, due to the need for love and uncertainty, there is a constant concern about being betrayed.

This is an inherent aspect of our nature, given our emotional disposition and capacity for foresight. We are, after all, humans with advanced cognitive abilities.

Consider the following scenario: A wife is waiting at home for her husband to return from work. According to the established routine, he should have already returned, yet after half an hour, he has not yet done so. In such a situation, it is inevitable that the wife will experience feelings of concern and anxiety, regardless of whether she suffers from separation anxiety or not.

Anxiety and worry are inevitable, yet often misguided. The intensity of these emotions is directly proportional to the degree of love and value placed on the object of concern.

Anxiety can precipitate the manifestation of one's intrinsic insecurities.

As previously stated, in an intimate relationship, if the other person does not respond in a timely manner as they are accustomed to, it can lead to feelings of anxiety. This is exemplified by the wife who anxiously awaits her husband's response. Such circumstances can result in feelings of anxiety and negative thinking patterns.

This is the genuine sentiment of affection that resides within our hearts. Due to the fact that he occupies a significant position in our lives, we hold him in high regard and feel a profound sense of attachment towards him.

It is possible to genuinely experience the strength of one's emotions in response to this event, namely love.

As these emotions are intrinsic to the individual, it is essential to acknowledge and examine this aspect of the self. It is crucial to permit the presence of anxiety and concern, as they are manifestations of the capacity to love.

The experience of anxiety is a natural consequence of the capacity to love. It is essential to accept this aspect of ourselves and allow it to occur organically.

Once complete acceptance has been achieved, it is then possible to allow this aspect of the self to rest comfortably within the body. It is not possible to eliminate the full range of feelings and emotional reactions that are experienced as normal human responses.

Alternatively, it would be more beneficial to embrace these emotions, acknowledge their presence, and engage with them on a physical and emotional level. This approach can help mitigate the intensity of panic and anxiety.

The world and I love you, and you should love yourself too.

Hello, I'm a heart coach. Life is a journey for blooming.

He will understand you. In a relationship, if things don't go as you want, you may feel out of control and anxious. Let's look at this:

1. Our partners meet our emotional needs that our parents didn't.

As you said, separation anxiety is likely to arise in a relationship between the sexes. Think back and see if you had a similar experience with your mother and father when you were young.

A child may feel close to their parents when they come home from work, but then feel hurt when they leave again.

If closeness means separation, it's better not to get close at all. Seeing mom and dad coming back home can cause worry and fear because it means they're leaving.

We look for the ideal parents in a partner. We hope they can meet our emotional needs.

When you realize this, you can see the root cause of your separation anxiety and change is already taking place.

?2. You can communicate better and understand each other better.

Intimacy means not being afraid.

Fall in love by getting to know each other, understanding each other, and increasing trust and understanding. Share your true feelings and express your needs directly.

Tell him about your growth experiences. With his understanding and support, you can change and grow together. In intimate relationships, people often guess what the other person is thinking. This can lead to problems.

Express your love. Read "The Five Love Languages" to find your love language and understand your partner's.

3. We learn to separate until we are completely alone.

We leave our mothers' wombs, separate from them. As toddlers, we leave our parents. We cry when we go to kindergarten. We leave home, get married, etc. We experience separation throughout our lives.

Everyone experiences separation anxiety many times during this process. Each experience helps us grow.

See your emotional needs and find ways to meet them. Don't demand things from others.

I hope this helps. I love you.

To keep talking, visit my homepage, "Heart Exploration Service."

I appreciate the opportunity to address this question. It is a thoughtful and pertinent inquiry.

The formation of separation anxiety in relationships requires an understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the development and growth of these relationships. It is important to recognize that relationships can be classified into two main categories: social relationships and intimate family relationships.

Therefore, the separation anxiety of intimate relationships between the sexes is also related to the separation anxiety of family intimacy. Family intimacy encompasses issues that arise within the family unit, such as parents experiencing a poor marriage, frequent arguments and conflict, or even divorce. Additionally, children may feel insecure within the family context, with parents frequently criticizing and rejecting their children, providing inadequate recognition and acceptance while simultaneously exerting control. This can result in children becoming overly dependent on their parents. These anxieties can lead to separation anxiety between children and parents, and if left unresolved, they can have a detrimental impact on various aspects of life, particularly interpersonal and intimate relationships.

Anxiety is a superficial emotion, but it is an indication that you are feeling anxious, panicked, helpless, and hopeless inside. It is an attempt to gain the attention, understanding, care, and help of those around you. This expression can be transformed and presented through words and actions. You can tell the other person that you are feeling anxious, panicked, helpless, and hopeless inside, release these emotional feelings in your heart, and then tell the other person why you are feeling so panicked and helpless. Observe their reaction.

This not only reduces the burden of stress on the individual, but also facilitates psychological and emotional communication with the other person. These emotions originate from within and are an integral part of unmet self-needs. Therefore, it is essential to accept them. While understanding or agreement may not be immediate, acceptance is a crucial first step.

If the other party did not reply to your message in a timely manner, you can express this to them. For example, you could say that you feel anxious and flustered because the other party did not reply to your message in a timely manner and that you hope they will see the message and reply in a timely manner. This does not address the underlying issue, which is the most pressing concern for the individual in question. It is therefore necessary to understand the details and to have a formal consultation.

Hello! I can see you're anxious.

In a anxiety/being-avoidant-in-attachment-style-how-to-heal-the-impact-on-intimate-relationships-8295.html" target="_blank">relationship, we always want the other person to pay attention to us. When they don't, we panic.

First, let me hug you. You're not alone. Many people feel this way. Then, we'll look at why you're anxious.

Maybe it's because we're afraid of the unknown or unsure of our emotional needs. But we can all handle it and feel better.

Think about it this way: you are a star, and your partner is another star that shines with you.

Every star has its own orbit and rhythm. They are not always in sync, but this makes the sky more beautiful. You and your partner have your own rhythms and habits. You don't have to force the other person to act exactly as you expect.

Next, I'll share some tips to help you feel less anxious.

[1] Set a "non-urgent time." During this time, you can do something you like, like reading, exercising, or meeting with friends.

This helps you maintain your own pace of life while reducing your overdependence on the other person.

[2] Keep a journal: When you feel anxious, write down your feelings. This can help you understand your needs and find ways to relieve your anxiety.

When your thoughts wander, bring your attention back to your breathing. Mindfulness meditation helps you face your emotions calmly and find peace.

[4] Open and honest communication with your partner is key to a healthy relationship. Choose a good time to share your feelings and needs.

Tell him you want him to reply to your messages on time. Through communication, you can understand each other better and have a better relationship.

[5] Get professional help. If you still can't get relief from your anxiety, you may want to see a counselor. A counselor can help you understand your emotions better and give you advice.

They can help you find ways to relieve anxiety.

Anxiety in a relationship is common, but it can be overcome. Set aside time, keep a journal, try meditation, communicate honestly, and seek support to relieve anxiety and build a healthier relationship.

Trust yourself and love. Face this challenge bravely!

Hello! I'm excited to answer your question about separation anxiety in intimate relationships. I'm happy to share my insights on how to alleviate this anxiety. When the other person doesn't respond as they usually do, it can cause panic and anxiety. I hope my answer will be helpful for you!

Have you ever wondered why we have separation anxiety? The answer lies in the fascinating Freudian object relations theory. It suggests that a person's "object constancy" is shaped by their experiences with companionship during infancy. The more love and support a child receives from their parents, the more at ease they will feel. This is because they understand that even if their parents are temporarily not around, it doesn't mean they've disappeared or abandoned them. It simply means that they're not able to perceive their parents' presence at the moment.

For children who have not received regular companionship, they face a fear that their parents' absence may mean that they are gone for good. But what an amazing opportunity for them to discover that they can survive without their parents' care!

This pattern continues into adulthood. Even though we know that the separation between us and our partner is only temporary, the anxiety that accompanies the separation is always there in the subconscious. As long as the other person is not by our side, we will feel nervous. But there's no need to worry! As soon as they're back, we'll be as happy as can be.

So, what kind of attitude should you adopt to face this anxiety? First, you should stop the behavior of repeatedly checking. You are afraid of being abandoned, so you repeatedly check to make sure that he loves you. During this process of confirmation, you will repeatedly "act" out, for example, hinting to the other person that you like a certain gift. As a result, the other person is indifferent, and you start to feel sad. Or, you send him a lot of messages, and the other person replies slightly coldly, and you start to feel sad again. Or, you think that he doesn't love you anymore, so you deliberately don't send him messages, but he doesn't take the initiative to come to you either, and you feel even sadder. But, there's a better way!

If you keep this up for too long, it'll start to take a toll on the other person too. So, it's time to stop this repetitive behavior and tell yourself not to do it!

Then comes the fun part! It's time to express your feelings and concerns. Instead of letting your mind wander, you get to tell the other person openly what has made you feel insecure. When you are at a loss, you can also ask the other person what he thinks about a certain matter from his perspective. Remember, you and he are two independent individuals, so as an object, he will inevitably not be able to fully understand all your feelings from your perspective.

So you can take the initiative to say what's on your mind! Don't waste time trying to anticipate his every move and let him guess your intentions.

In the end, you just have to learn to live with your worries. This fear of being abandoned is essentially a fear of not being taken care of, of not being able to survive independently. But you can eliminate this fear! All you have to do is learn to live with your worries. For example, if you order takeout and end up being an hour late, you'll be annoyed and anxious. You might be tempted to let off steam, but will that really make things better? No, it definitely won't. It will just make your day worse. But you can make your day better!

So, the best thing you can do is wait patiently. At worst, you can go to the supermarket and buy some instant noodles. You are hungry and impatient, and everyone feels the same at this moment, but we can absolutely coexist with these anxious feelings. You will always be able to eat, it's just a matter of time!

The same goes for relationships! Just because you have negative emotions, it doesn't mean the relationship is over. You have to believe that negative emotions and your relationship can coexist. It's like that takeaway that keeps you waiting. What you want doesn't mean it won't come—it just means it's a little late, but it will be worth the wait!

Hello!

If you associate a lack of timely response from your partner with separation anxiety, it might mean that you're experiencing separation anxiety from an important caregiver, possibly your mother. Your panic and anxiety are probably trying to tell you that you've been abandoned, that you're separated from the person who cares for you, that you're afraid, and that you feel powerless to stop feeling afraid.

What causes separation anxiety?

The first signs of separation anxiety usually show up between a baby and their mom. In the first few months of life, the baby and mom are really connected.

The mother is fully engaged in caring for the child and can respond quickly to their needs, whether it's a slight discomfort, a slight movement, or a cry. The baby feels like they and the world are connected, like the world moves with them.

The anxiety of separation comes from the baby realizing they're not one with their mother, that they're independent individuals.

This kind of upbringing is often accompanied by anxiety about separating from the mother, a feeling of being unable to survive independently, and anxiety about not getting a timely response. If the mother can respond in a timely manner during this process, the child grows up realizing again and again that even though they are separated from the mother, she will reappear and give timely assistance and responses.

This means the child will be able to develop a sense of independence and safety, and move on from feeling anxious about being separated.

But if the process is full of setbacks, for example, in infancy, when the baby and mother should be one, the mother's response is often untimely, or even indifferent and rude.

This can lead to some pretty deep insecurities in early infancy. When it's time to gradually become more independent and learn to separate, the anxiety can become even more intense.

If the mother can't give the child the warm support they need during this period and instead scolds, blames, or reprimands them, it'll create more separation anxiety and fear in the child. The child will feel like they can't survive without their mother.

There's a strong resistance to separation, and you want to return to infancy urgently to reconnect with your mother and feel that sense of security.

It's time to face the fact that we project separation anxiety onto new objects. Intimate relationships, parent-child relationships, and even close friends are all objects that can easily be projected with separation anxiety.

As we grow up, we tend to project this separation anxiety onto new things. Intimate relationships, parent-child relationships, and even close friends can all be affected by this.

We all want to feel safe and complete with a new partner. We don't want to go through the tough separation experiences we had as kids again.

It's almost impossible to get over deep-seated feelings of insecurity and the feeling of being unable to survive independently with the help of another person. The deeper the insecurity, the more likely it is to lead to anxiety in a new relationship. The more anxious you become, the more you want to control the other person, and the more likely you are to mess up the relationship.

The breakup of the relationship, in turn, makes those feelings of insecurity and anxiety worse. It's almost a 100% vicious cycle.

It's important to work through separation anxiety in a relationship.

But if you change your perspective, your relationship experience can actually help you break up. Think of your romantic partner as someone who can help you work through your separation anxiety.

It's not about finding someone who can make you feel better or fix your anxiety. Instead, you can use the other person as a way to understand your own separation anxiety. You can explore your own feelings of fear and anxiety, and realize that they're related to your past experiences, not because of how the other person responds to you.

It's important to experience your own fears and anxieties and understand your feelings. You can also share your feelings of vulnerability and the source of these feelings with your partner. Just make sure you don't blame your partner for your feelings.

This will help you get your partner to understand you better, and maybe they'll respond to you in a gentler way.

No matter what, you'll treat yourself with more kindness, and you'll have a better relationship with the other person.

I hope this is helpful. I'm therapist Xu Yanlian, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Good morning. I will provide a brief answer to your question.

Please describe the process by which separation anxiety develops in a relationship.

1. Genetics: There is a higher incidence rate of separation anxiety in children whose parents or older family members suffer from this condition. This is thought to be closely related to genetics.

2. Environmental impact: Alterations in the surrounding environment can precipitate feelings of anxiety and distress, which may be alleviated when in the presence of loved ones. Furthermore, if the living environment is characterised by heightened levels of tension and anxiety, it may result in a lack of security and poor adaptability, which may in turn give rise to separation anxiety.

3. Psychological Stress Changes: For example, psychological stress reactions that occur after experiencing the death of a loved one, a serious illness, etc.

4. Over-dependence on Relatives: Being overly attached to relatives, especially parents, can precipitate the aforementioned situation when suddenly separated from them.

5. Personality issues: Individuals may display a lack of confidence, shyness, social awkwardness, and difficulty adapting to unfamiliar situations.

Separation anxiety is an age-inappropriate, excessive anxiety that impairs behavior when separating from an attachment figure. It is one of the most common emotional disorders in preschool children.

As adults, we tend to view our attachment figures as partners, which can lead to continued emotional distress from past experiences. Individuals with an anxious attachment style are more likely to experience separation anxiety.

Furthermore, emotional attachment and separation anxiety are mutually reinforcing.

What are the most effective methods for stress management?

It is important to recognise that emotional fluctuations are to be expected during a period of separation. It is therefore essential to take steps to adjust your mindset in order to overcome feelings of anxiety, restlessness and other negative emotions as soon as possible. Failure to do so can result in internal conflict. You may wish to consider engaging in activities that relieve stress, such as playing with toys or games, communicating with family and friends, or exercising at a moderate level.

The outcome may vary, and there are multiple approaches that could be taken.

It is clear that anxiety disorders have a significant impact on sexual function. Given the direct link between mental illness and physical health, it is crucial to implement appropriate adjustments as soon as possible.

It is recommended that you engage in more physical exercise and develop a regular lifestyle. Only through these adjustments can we relieve psychological pressure and control the causes of anxiety.

It is evident that individuals in emotional distress often require social support. Solution:

First and foremost, maintain composure and a logical mindset. Avoid becoming overly emotional, as this may exacerbate the situation.

Secondly, it would be advisable to communicate with the other person in order to ascertain the reason for their lack of response, which may be due to their being busy or having missed the message, for example.

Effective communication allows us to gain insight into the other person's thoughts and feelings, which in turn helps to reduce tension.

Ultimately, it is essential to accept the reality of the situation. If the other party is unresponsive or unable to respond, it is not possible to force them to do so.

As an alternative, we can explore other methods for articulating our thoughts and feelings, such as maintaining a journal or engaging in dialogue with colleagues to process emotions.

I hope you find this information useful and thank you for reading.

Hello! Thanks so much for your question.

On the journey of love, we often encounter various emotions and challenges, among which anxiety may be the most common and the most difficult to deal with. But don't worry! When you are in a relationship and feel anxious because your partner has not responded in time, I fully understand your unease and concerns.

This anxiety can affect your emotional state and even have a negative impact on your relationship. But don't worry! Through this Q&A, I'm here to empathize with your feelings and explore how to face and overcome this anxiety together.

Let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of anxiety! Anxiety is our body's way of preparing for potential challenges and negative outcomes in the future.

In a relationship, these concerns can stem from interpreting the other person's behavior, doubting your place in the relationship, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship. When the other person does not respond as we expect or as we are used to, this anxiety can be magnified, causing us to fall into a state of unease and tension. But don't worry! There are ways to alleviate this anxiety.

I'm excited to share some suggestions and methods with you that will help alleviate this anxiety!

1. Get to know your anxiety triggers like the back of your hand!

To overcome anxiety, you first need to understand your source of anxiety. Is it because the other person didn't reply right away that you feel unappreciated?

Or is it because you are worried about your position in the other person's heart? The good news is that by gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, you can more accurately pinpoint the source of your anxiety and take targeted measures to deal with it.

2. Get ready to establish a healthy communication method!

Communication is the absolute best way to relieve relationship anxiety! Be open and honest with your partner, share your feelings and concerns, and listen to their thoughts and feedback.

Effective communication is a fantastic way to gain a deeper understanding of your partner's actions and thoughts. Not only does this help to reduce any misunderstandings, but it also eliminates unnecessary worries!

3. Nourish your sense of self-worth and independence!

It is so important to maintain a sense of independence and self-worth in a relationship! Don't rely too heavily on the other person's response to validate your own sense of value and existence.

The great news is that you can develop your interests, improve your abilities and qualities, and become more confident and independent. This will enable you to better cope with anxiety in a relationship!

4. Learn to relax and relieve stress!

In addition to the specific methods mentioned above, I would also like to emphasize an even more important mindset shift – from "anxiety-driven" to "trust and acceptance." In a relationship, we get to learn to trust each other's love and commitment, and believe that they will respond to our love in their own way.

And remember, love is a complex and ever-changing field, so embrace the uncertainty and changes that come with it!

When we face the challenges and difficulties in a relationship with trust and acceptance, something amazing happens: our anxiety naturally eases! We know that no matter what the outcome, we have the ability to cope and accept it, and that's a wonderful feeling!

I will absolutely do my best to support and guide you, and I'm so excited to help you face and overcome the challenges of being in a relationship!

And there's more! I want to remind you that love is only a part of life. We also have our own lives and interests. When we spread our attention and energy to more things, the anxiety about love will also relatively decrease.

And don't forget to pay attention to your own growth and development, and make your life more colorful!

And don't forget to cherish the good times! Every moment in a relationship is worth remembering. Even the sweetest moments and the bitterest, they're all valuable experiences in life.

Let's embrace every aspect of being in love with a grateful heart and make every moment we spend with our partner truly special!

Finally, I want to say: love requires the joint efforts and understanding of both parties. When we feel anxious, we can choose to be more understanding and tolerant, and less accusatory and complaining.

Through in-depth communication and understanding, we can work together to overcome any challenges and difficulties in a relationship and move towards a better future. May you find more and more happiness and joy as you go down the path of love!

It is important to recognise that separation anxiety in relationships is a complex psychological issue. In essence, separation anxiety is a strong feeling of worry and unease experienced when separation from an intimate partner is imminent or occurring.

In the context of a relationship, this anxiety can potentially arise from a deep emotional dependence, a sense of uncertainty about the stability of the relationship, and a wavering sense of self-worth.

It would be beneficial to understand the causes of separation anxiety.

It is possible that in an intimate relationship, if one partner becomes overly emotionally dependent on the other, separation anxiety may result. This dependence may potentially stem from a deep identification with the partner or from a lack of emotional independence and self-confidence.

It is possible that when faced with separation, this sense of dependence could potentially turn into intense anxiety and unease.

It is possible that separation anxiety may be exacerbated when there is uncertainty in the relationship. This could be the result of a lack of clarity regarding the future of the relationship or doubts about the fidelity of one's partner. Such uncertainty may arise from poor communication, a lack of shared goals, or differences in values.

It is possible that a shaken sense of self-worth may contribute to separation anxiety. This may occur when a partner begins to question their own value, whether as a result of the partner's actions or words, or as a result of one's own excessive investment and sacrifice in the relationship.

It is possible that when faced with separation, this questioning of self-worth could further exacerbate feelings of anxiety.

Here are a few suggestions for ways to ease separation anxiety.

It may be helpful to consider ways to deepen communication as a means of alleviating separation anxiety. Sincere dialogue and frank expression can facilitate a deeper understanding of each other's needs and feelings, which in turn can help to reduce misunderstandings and suspicions. This, in turn, can enhance trust and reliance within the relationship.

It may be helpful to encourage each other to develop your own independence. This could apply not only to material things, but also to emotional, mental, and lifestyle matters.

When both partners are able to face life's challenges independently, their sense of dependence on their partner may naturally decrease, which could help alleviate separation anxiety.

It may be helpful to seek professional support if separation anxiety is having a significant impact on daily life and work. A counselor or psychotherapist can provide guidance and assistance, help identify the underlying causes of anxiety, assist in managing emotions, and facilitate a healthy emotional connection.

We would like to suggest the following solution.

Cognitive restructuring: It may be helpful to assist both parties in re-examining their perceptions of the relationship and understanding that separation anxiety is only an emotional reaction and not necessarily the truth. At the same time, it might be beneficial to encourage both parties to view separation anxiety from a positive perspective, such as the fact that it may enhance the value and commitment to the relationship.

It may be helpful to consider emotion regulation training, which could teach the couple effective emotion regulation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and relaxation exercises. These techniques could potentially assist the couple in better controlling their emotional reactions when facing separation.

It may be helpful to encourage both parties to create a safe, supportive environment where they feel accepted and understood. This could be achieved by jointly setting rules, sharing emotions, and supporting each other.

It may be helpful to encourage both parties to participate in innovative social activities together, such as interest groups, travel, and volunteering. These activities could potentially help both parties enrich their life experiences and expand their social circles, while also enhancing their emotional connection and mutual understanding.

It might be helpful to consider the following advice for those experiencing panic or anxiety.

It is important to set reasonable expectations in an intimate relationship. It is not always realistic to expect the other person to give us their full attention and to respond in a way that aligns with our expectations. It is also important to respect each other's choices and decisions.

We should all try to understand and accept each other, given that everyone has their own rhythm and lifestyle.

It may be helpful to enhance self-awareness by finding ways to cope that suit you. This could involve gaining a deeper understanding of your needs and emotional response patterns. At the same time, it's important to recognize that your value does not depend solely on the responses and attention of others. Rather, it's shaped by your own growth and progress.

It may be helpful to learn to relax and meditate. When faced with panic and anxiety, you might try to relieve your emotions through relaxation and meditation. You could find a quiet place to sit, breathe deeply, and focus on your feelings and experiences in the present.

With time and practice, you can gradually shift your attention away from the anxious feelings and focus on the calm and stability within.

Hello, my name is Coach Yu, and I would love to chat with you about this topic.

First, let's chat about separation. We all have seven emotions and six desires, and two of these are the desire for separation and the desire for connection. These two desires work together in a kind of dance throughout our lives. We are born and separated from our mother's body, we are weaned and separated from the breast, we grow up and separate from our parents, marriage is a separation from the original family... Any anxiety about separation at any stage can affect a smooth transition to the next stage of life.

It can be really helpful to ask ourselves what we think when our partner leaves, and what emotions and feelings this brings up for us.

We can also ask ourselves: have we experienced a lot of separation and a lot of connection along the way with our partner?

Let's chat about security. In Maslow's theory, "security" is explained in a really lovely way: it's a sense of confidence, safety, and freedom from fear and anxiety. It's especially about feeling satisfied with your current and future needs.

If we grew up in an environment where we never felt secure, where there was a lot of dislike, hatred, annoyance, accusations, punishment, neglect, etc., and where we could not rely on or trust anyone, and where there was a lot of hostility, then these experiences will often continue to affect us until we grow up. They will continue to spread to all kinds of other relationships, and we will always worry and feel that the relationship environment around us is full of insecurity and hostility.

As the questioner wrote, if the other person doesn't reply to the message as usual, it can be really unsettling and make us feel anxious.

Let's ask ourselves some more questions! What does my heart palpitate for? What does my anxiety seek?

We can also ask ourselves, what does my heart truly desire? What does my heart truly seek in an intimate relationship?

What can I do to help?

We can try to be our own best friend! We can objectively evaluate ourselves, record our strengths and weaknesses, praise our strengths, and accept our shortcomings.

It's also important to remind ourselves that we've grown up, because ultimately, no one can give us a sense of security — we have to do that for ourselves. As the wonderful psychologist Adler said, past life experiences aren't that useful to us. What matters most is how we perceive and make meaning of our experiences.

It's so important to have a spiritual dialogue with our partner. We all change and grow together from the moment we meet to when we know and love each other. It's a beautiful journey of getting to know each other's behavior patterns. We can express our thoughts and concerns honestly, hoping to gain the other person's understanding and support, and also hear what the other person expects from us. When we learn to love each other, we can establish a beautiful and lasting intimate relationship.

We can try to make peace with our emotions. When we feel anxious or worried, we can gently say "stop" to ourselves, take a deep breath, and watch the emotions come and go without any judgment. Let the emotions come and go freely like clouds, and drift away slowly like fallen leaves in the water. We can also try to record what our feelings are at the moment.

Your writing is just for you, so please feel free to write about your feelings honestly and openly. This will help us understand the origins and effects of our emotions and help us clarify the root of the problem.

We can also seek help because, if this thing is bothering you, it can be tough to overcome it immediately. Try to find a family member or friend you trust and who has always given you positive support to talk to. If you feel the need, you can also find a counselor or a support group because emotions must have an outlet to relieve the heaviness and blockage in our hearts.

And of course, we also need to enrich our knowledge and enrich our inner being. When our core is strong, you will be more confident, and the people around you will also be closer.

I'd highly recommend reading "Intimacy: Finding Your Soul Mate"!

Hello, question asker. I can see you're feeling confused, and I'm here to give you a big hug!

I can see you're having a tough time right now. I'm here to help! It seems like your current problems might be related to your sense of security.

It's totally possible that when you were young, especially during infancy, your relationship with your mother wasn't the best.

It's totally understandable that when you cried, your mom might not have been able to respond right away.

Growing up in such an environment, you may have come to rely on others for your sense of security, which is totally normal!

So when you find that in an intimate relationship he doesn't respond to you as he usually does, it's totally normal to feel anxious and worried.

It's also important to remember that you're an adult now.

As an adult, you are so different from the child you once were!

For example, you've grown so much since you were a child! You're taller and stronger, and you're also more powerful inside.

You've grown so much! You can now take care of yourself, and you can also take care of your own sense of security.

Please don't hesitate to seek help from a professional psychological counselor if you need it.

A counselor can be a great help in dealing with the "inner child" part.

There are three wonderful stages of life: childhood, parenthood, and adulthood.

It's totally possible that you're still stuck in the "childhood state."

If you'd like to learn more about these three states, I highly recommend reading the classic book, Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychiatrist.

I really hope the problem you're having gets solved soon.
