Emotionally Unavailable: What It Means and 15 Signs to Look For – Insights from Brooke Sprowl in Mind Body Green
Emotional availability is key to forming deep and meaningful relationships, but what happens when someone isn’t open to that level of connection?
Brooke Sprowl, founder of My LA Therapy, was recently featured in Mind Body Green to discuss what it truly means to be emotionally unavailable and the signs you need to watch for in your relationships.
What Does It Mean to Be Emotionally Unavailable?
In the Mind Body Green article, Brooke Sprowl explains that emotional unavailability occurs when someone struggles to connect on a deeper level, either because they’re avoiding intimacy or unable to process their own feelings.
This often leads to distant, unfulfilling relationships that can leave one partner feeling frustrated and misunderstood.
Transitioning into the signs, Brooke outlines 15 key indicators of emotional unavailability.
These include behaviors like difficulty expressing emotions, avoiding serious conversations, or keeping relationships at a surface level.
She also highlights that emotionally unavailable individuals often fear vulnerability, which can create barriers to trust and deeper connection.

If any of these signs resonate with you, it may be time to reflect on whether your current relationship is meeting your emotional needs.
Seeking support from a therapist can help you better understand these dynamics and find ways to navigate them.
