What is emotional detachment?
Answers:
emotional detachment is the ability to observe or think about a situation without feelings. If you can see horrible things without feeling horrible, and just use your logic to analize it, you have an emotional detachment. If you do it very often however people will think of you as a cold person.

You learn something new every day... if you look yourself, you learn it better.
it is when you get away from something or someone
you get emotional
when you don't feel anything towards something or someone. not love, hate, empathy, rage, you have no emotional ties to anything.
It is a psychological term refering to a lack of the proper emotional attachment. Like distancing yourself from others because you don't want to be hurt. Not feeling a connection or exhibiting a connection where there should be one.
In addition to rokprincess' answer...
You detach because for some reason (ususally fear or vulnerability) you want to avoid feeling happiness or pain. It's a way of self-numbing.
In some cases of post-traumatic stress disorder, emotional detachment is a way of preserving oneself. In order not to relive the trauma of the event, you block out all emotion. Based on my experience, once you are ready to begin dealing with the issue/event, the emotional detachment is lessened. (Took me years of therapy!)
one detaches from there emotions to avoid feeling them
