I'm not talking about detachment. I am talking about attachment theory. Detachment is a new thing for you because it is not normal for the human brain at all. We are wired to do things in pairs. According to this book that I am reading, people who worked/lived/acted in pairs during the holocaust were more likely to survive than those who went it alone. This is why MWD reminds us that what we have to do is so counter-intuitive because it really flies in the face of everything our brain is wired to tell us to do. Our brain is wired to MAINTAIN these close bonds...
I'm all for the 2x4's in your case But I really think it is important that you understand that what you are feeling is normal and that there isn't anything wrong with you. If you could just understand that first, I think it's helpful. It helped me to understand that.
