The words I mentioned above, like “untethering,” aren’t established scientific principles. But to me (and thousands of others who are currently exploring that idea deeply), they are based on extremely sound premises that practically allow us to bridge the gap & allow us to understand this abstract topic of relationships a lot better.
It is helpful if common terms are used so there can be some common reference. Let's start with the topic "untethering" as you mentioned it. Here is Google Search AI summary on it:
Untethering means to free something from a tether, or to be not confined or restricted by a tether. Synonyms of untethering include: Unbound, Unrestrained, Untied, Unfastened.
Untethering can also refer to a surgery that untethers a tethered spinal cord.
Tethered spinal cord syndrome (TSCS) appears to be caused by incorrect growth of the neural tube while the fetus is developing. It's related to the disorder called spina bifida. Symptoms include pain.
Untethering surgery is generally only performed if clinical signs or symptoms of deterioration are observed. There are several types of surgery, depending on the cause of the tethering and how much tissue is affected.
The standard open surgery for cord untethering consists of:
A multilevel laminectomy
Dural opening
Identification of the filum
Sectioning it
A minimally invasive technique for spinal cord untethering can provide the advantage of:
Reduced soft tissue injury
Less postoperative pain
Minimal blood loss
A smaller incision
A shorter hospitalization
Obviously that is not what you are alluding to, so I drilled down and added the word psychological to it, and here is the results:
Psychological untethering can mean different things:
Liberation: Untethering from the bondage of your psyche can lead to liberation.
Flexibility: Untethering your conscious self can increase your flexibility to adapt to challenges.
Resiliency: Untethering can manifest as a general resiliency between psychological threat and academic performance.
Emotional freedom: Untethering can mean finding emotional freedom by removing blockages.
Floating: Feeling untethered can mean feeling as though you are just floating through life.
Some books about psychological untethering include:
The Untethered Soul: Open Your Heart to Free Your Soul
Developing an Untethered Personality
Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament
Well, that didn't work, so, let's try a different modifier 'emotional'
Emotional untethering can feel like an uncomfortable lightness, where you feel disconnected from yourself and others. It can be destabilizing and make it difficult to navigate your experience in the world.
Some reasons why you might feel emotionally untethered include: Emotional emptiness, Emotional detachment, Emotional numbness, Uncertainty, Alexithymia.
Emotional detachment can result from:
Trauma
Abuse
A previous encounter
Emotional numbness can be caused by: Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Stress hormones.
Alexithymia is a condition marked by a lack of feelings and an inability to express feelings.
Uncertainty can amplify feelings of untethering. As uncertainty grows, you may feel more and more discomfort.
It gives the definition of emotional detachment. Change the search to "relationship untethered"

Ironically the first non-video link that google provided was:
https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=351906.0this very thread - talk about a circular argument - oh the irony of it.
A circular argument is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument repeats a premise. A circular argument is also known as circular reasoning or begging the question.
In a circular argument, the premise of the argument assumes the conclusion to be true. The premise is any reason or evidence that supports the argument's conclusion. For example, "our boss is the best person for the job because they were promoted to boss".
Here are some examples of circular arguments:
"George Bush is a good communicator because he speaks effectively"
"Wool sweaters are superior to nylon jackets as fall attire because wool sweaters have the higher wool content"
A circular argument restates the argument rather than actually proving it.
I've used a logical search pattern for 'untethered' in the context that you have given and cannot find anything reasonable, except possibly 'detachment'. Being unable to find the information that you speak of, in written form, could you be so kind as to enlighten me in detail of the concept to which you speak?
