The Space-Maker
After conflict, you need space to think. You pull back, regulate, and only return once you've sorted out what to say.

What this type means
The Space-Maker resets via temporary distance — letting things cool, returning to baseline before engaging. Effective when paired with eventual re-engagement; costly when the space becomes permanent withdrawal.
In relationships
You're considered when you come back — but your partner often experiences your distance as punishment, even when it isn't. The space that helps YOU regulate may panic THEM.
Watch for
Without explanation, your space looks like abandonment. The fix isn't to give up your need — it's to narrate it.
The growth edge
Say "I need 24 hours, I'm not leaving" before you go quiet. The sentence prevents 80% of the secondary damage.
