Emotional detachment and numbness -- when a person dials down feelings and is unable or unwilling to engage with others to avoid feeling pain -- is often experienced in sibling relationships.We may share our deepest emotions with a brother or sister, but he or she doesn't necessarily receive or respond to our vulnerability, leaving us feeling empty and disappointed. Those who are numb struggle to sustain intimate relationships. This episode explores why people are numb, how this affects individuals and relationships, and how to accept or alter this pattern of interaction to achieve more fulfilling connections.
