Rethinking Emotional Dependence: A New Perspective on Healthy Relationships
Emotional Dependence: Is it Always a Bad Thing? A new perspective on emotional dependence is emerging, challenging the traditional view that it is inherently negative. Recent videos from psychology and emotional health experts are highlighting the importance of reciprocal care in healthy relationships. One such video, posted on April 16, 2025, by neuroscientist and emotional psychology expert Raquel Mascaraque (@raquelmascaraque), has garnered significant attention. Mascaraque explains that while vertical dependence (such as that between a child and parent) is essential for development, healthy adult relationships require horizontal dependence, characterized by mutual support and care. She uses the metaphor of "air circulation," stating, "When you give air, it's important that the other person also returns that air; it's about recycling that air." Mascaraque's video underscores the need for reciprocity in relationships, emphasizing that one-sided giving can lead to emotional depletion. Her simple yet profound explanation has resonated with viewers, prompting discussions about healthy relationship dynamics and the importance of mutual support.
