cascade
Intimacy Fixation
Definition
Relational contact arrives in a mutual exchange but the receiving capacity pulls it in harder than the contact carries. Relational sits at center — the other person still functions as an equal participant — while Open runs overactivated, taking relational signal in with more intensity than the exchange asks. Propagation moves primarily along Open's reach: the over-receiving spreads into Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual as the same hot intake extends to whatever content those domains carry, with one further extension as Focus tightens around the contact alongside. Bond and Move stay intact at their own setpoints. Both come back together — Open eases its pull, and the spread reverses down the same line.
