When we are gone, is it a going away from a person or situation or is it a retreat into our desired space? And how do we differentiate the two?

We go away to create the appropriate distance needed to keep us safe. We need our space so we can have the freedom to expand.

When we are in relationships with people that do not give us our space, we may be compelled to go away. When we have our appropriate space, we may be compelled to stay.

When you need distance, is it because you want to go away or do you just need your space?
