𝘼𝘽𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏: The author considers the role of #shame & the response to it, which she describes as self-protective avoidance of relationship, in the development of a schizoid process. She proposes that the intention & action of suicide may in some cases be the ultimate schizoid #withdrawal. She describes her #therapy work over 10 years with a young woman who required a gentle, attuned & #relational process to help her #heal a relational split.
