The Pursuer-Withdrawer Relationship Cycle Sue John The Pursuer-Withdrawer Relationship Cycle
Sue Johnson is the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy. According to EFT research, healthy couples take turns being a pursuer and withdrawer. In unhealthy relationships each person assumes a position from the start and stays in that role. 

PURSUER:
Do you often find yourself constantly asking your partner to open up more? Do you frequently long for more of their attention? Are you the one always appologizing? Chances are, you are the pursuer.

WITHDRAWER:
Do you think what’s the point? Do you avoid arguments or sharing your thoughts? Do you say to your partner “no matter what I say/do is not good enough”? The chances are you are a withdrawer.

What position do you adopt in a fight or argument with your spouse? Are you a pursuer? Or are you a withdrawer?
