Relationship De-escalation

Relationship De-Escalation is a theoretical construct within the field of relationship development that denotes the systematic process through which relational tension, conflict intensity, or emotional arousal is reduced between interdependent individuals or groups, distinguishing itself from related concepts by focusing specifically on the attenuation of negative interaction dynamics rather than resolution, termination, or avoidance.
