Moving past the WAW to a stronger me Pt. 4

[Davide]

For sure. Anger/Resentment is not detachment at all, it is an emotional reaction. I think of it like riding a wave that is heading in to shore, at first it comes crashing down and the force is overwhelming but as you approach acceptance and detachment it peters out like the tide gently lapping up against the shoreline. The other ocean metaphor that seems appropriate to me is that the emotions are like a riptide, the more you struggle against them and fight the worse it gets and the more likely you are to drown. You have to just float and surrender and let the tide take you where it will.
