Chances are you have cut someone out of your life or someone has cut you out. Cutoff-severing all contact-is a common way to manage troubled relationships, yet it remains virtually unstudied and semi-taboo to discuss. We have the right to cut people off. Nonetheless, being cut off is often traumatic in ways our culture fails to recognize. Being Cut is a first-of-its-kind exploration of our society's attitudes toward cutoff and a call for a cultural transformation that respects cutoff while being mindful of the harm it can do.
