013 How to Detach with Love from the Pain of Others

Secret Self-Sabotage with Jessica Cuatrecasas

If you're constantly worried about a loved one, or feel like your life revolves around them doing well, you've got an attachment problem. The only healthy way to let go of this attachment is to detach with love. This involves caring enough about others to allow them space to learn from their mistakes. In today's episode, we'll go through effective strategies on how to overcome codependency, and detach with love from the pain of others.

What You'll Learn:

- How and why to detach with love

- Why detaching is good for you and your loved one

- The benefits of setting appropriate boundaries

- Recognising that your feelings and needs are valid

- How to express your own opinions and feelings

- Why you need to take time out from an unproductive or hurtful relationship

- The peace that comes with not making excuses for someone else's behaviour

- The root cause of codependency

It might be painful to witness a loved one go down the path of self-destruction. Interestingly, becoming overly attached is often not because we love them so much, but because we need them a little too much. The antidote to all of this is to detach and let go. Letting go of codependency allows us to enjoy life despite the other person's mishaps and behaviour.
