Closeness and distance - Couples Therapy Copenhagen

Why is my partner emotionally unavailable?

Two low chairs beside a bright window, turned slightly away from each other

My partner is kind to me, but I cannot get near them.

Emotional neglect in a relationship: why you feel alone

Bands of warm sunlight from a window blind falling across an indoor wall

What emotional neglect looks like, and what changes it

Why does my partner want me most when I give up?

Two closed wooden doors set in a warm ochre wall in sunlight

When I reach for them they retreat, and when I stop they return.

Why is seeing each other harder than being apart?

Sunrise over a field of cloud seen past the frame of an aeroplane window

I count the days until we meet, but the visit goes wrong.

Growing apart in a relationship: how to close the distance

Two sunlit dune ridges running apart with a widening band of shadow between them

Where the distance comes from, and what closes it again.

Why do I feel alone in the same room as my partner?

A rough red wall meeting a smooth ochre wall, divided by a thin pale line

We live well together, but I have not been reached in months.

Have I fallen out of love, or just gone quiet?

An unlit candle beside a dried flower head against a plain warm beige wall

I still care about them, but I feel nothing when they walk in.

Why have we stopped having sex?

Draped cloth in warm brown with a pale ceramic form and a bare twisted branch

We love each other, but neither of us reaches across.
