I printed this out, 25, because I really struggle with detaching. I can't mentally figure out how to detach and still love. And are you supposed to remain detached while piecing and back together? Is that the healthy way to keep from becoming I meshed and codependent? Are you detached, 25, now that your marriage is on so,I'd ground? I can't wrap my head around that. I know it's what works in this stage I'm in so that I'm not looking too deeply at what is said or not said and focus on changes I need to make. That makes sense. In the next stage though, am I to remain detached? HOW do YOU do it, 25? I mean, it makes sense and sounds healthy and strong on paper but it's hard to execute for sure.
I totally can see how detaching can help me not react. I need that and KNOW it will help me. I just don't see how detaching works long term. I need to process this deeper... Or maybe just stop because I tend to overthink.
I still don't see how detaching works long term. Man, it's hard.
