One of the basic processes we go through as individuals is the challenge of differentiating from our family while still retaining a sense of “familiness”. It is a life-long process for all individuals and a particular challenge for those involved in a family business as often the roles of individuals are many and the boundaries blurred.

Emotional cut-off can be seen as a cut off both physically, when the family member physically removes themselves from the family; and psychologically, where they may still live in close proximity but are not engaged with the family.

There are many things to consider regarding the impact this cut-off has on the family system, the business system and the individual’s emotional well-being.

• Different theories regarding emotional cut-off
• Processes use to manage the cut-off for the individual and the family
