Emotional Detachment For Mental Health

Attachments bind us to whatever we attach to. When we attach, we often emotionally enmesh without realizing it. Healthy detachment allows us to think logically, rationally, and freely. When we are attached, we are not free. In this podcast, let's unpack what it means to detach for our own mental health and wellness.

Resonated with this one….was an eye opener. Wishing all peace and love.

Very fascinating talk. I enjoyed it a lot

an older talk that i just discovered- and one that i needed to hear today. thank you Lisa 🙏

WOOW!! I connected with this so much. I had a difficult time instilling healthy boundaries in my last relationship. I was often cut off from speaking my feelings. I can see how manipulative the tactics were when loving communication were not used to express her feelings, and I was extremely heartbroken and scared when she told me she would hurt herself if I left her alone/leave 😭I thought taking care of her through this and offer compassion was the best option, but afterwards I felt my loving actions were never enough. When I felt sad or taken advantage of, I would bring this up in the best way I could and instead of receiving support she would tell me in anger “what’s wrong with you.” It completely sabotaged and demoralized me as I tried helping her through her difficult times but didn’t get the reciprocation. If your partner’s actions doesn’t match their words, is this intentional manipulation or simply unconsciousness? I see how this was a trigger for me, but I shouldn’t have let her lack of empathy trigger me. I thought there was something wrong with me bc I would often feel sad and angry since it was a repetitive pattern. I often felt that she wanted to be in control of our conversations and almost in any situation, which made me feel further like I wasn’t enough. “Thinking everyone is as nice as you are, and they’re not.” I’m finding it very difficult for me to accept that after listening to this she didn’t truly care about me. But I see the red flags from the beginning and throughout the relationship. Perhaps these were unconscious patterns on both ends. Can you have care for someone and still dismiss their feelings? I see my responsibility here with my codependency traits. I always become more compassionate when I see others suffering and I knew she was suffering. I have to remember that I cannot help in healing someone else and vice versa. I have to love myself first. That is what truly heals. Can codependency be fully healed while in a relationship or is it simply managed? Thank you so much again from shining light on my codependency and reminding me to stay strong with my healthy boundaries, remain in love and light, and not allow anyone to trigger me. I am going to sign up for your courses soon 🙏🏽💙✨

Hearing this has made me think about my relationship with my sister. Some things resonated with me but I feel that since the situation does not reach an extreme, it is difficult for me to identify it, and to be sure that it is co-dependency. Thanks for the information, I will keep listening.

You just described my childhood, it made me feel not alone thanks ❤️🙏

I learned a lot in just these few minutes. I’ve emotionally suffered my entire life and there is nothing more that I wish for then to come out the other side. I’m hoping it’s never too late even in my late 50’s. Thank you for enlightening me.

Just the reality checkI needed today — thank you for sharing your experience

This was like hearing my life.
Beautiful.
Thank you.

So insightful! Her message resonated so much that I went over to Amazon and bought one of her books. Outstanding!

Very inspiring. I appreciate Lisa's honesty and guidance. Who knows it, feels it. Thank you once again.

Hi Lisa, You are such a god send to me. I am a surviver of narcissistic abuse and dealing with a lot of stress. I can’t say thank you enough to you🙏🙏 I wanted to let you know that your meditations are helping me a lot and it’s healing my emotional pain. Please keep up the great work! You are awesome! Love you Lisa!🙏🙏👍💜

Is there a differenve between codependency and limerence ?? Beautifully crafted.

This really spoke to me. Worded so well, great insight and empathy 👌🏻❤️

I always find your meditations and talks so incredibly helpful. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge❤️

such an insightful talk. will definately be listening to more talks from this teacher.

Overwhelmed .... I have been suffering all of the above. A children social worker without boundaries about killed me. I enmesh ... Recently I realized I don’t know who I AM. I’ve been too busy being everything to everyone else. WHAT IS MY PURPOSE if not to help others. Codependent like my mom. I really believed I just have a big heart. That I Love whole heartedly. I am compassionate and have a lot of empathy. But if that were true I’d have to love myself first. Right?! I’ve spent my life in one bad relationship after another. All narcissistic like my father. Always searching for validation. In a lot of pain. I just want it all to stop. I want to feel joy again. I have been reaching out to my inner child. Giving her the respect and love she could not receive in the past. You’re not responsible for making everyone happy. I’m so tired. I want to wake up. Feel so lost and struggle with negative self thoughts. I need and want to understand how to change and to be secure and happy by myself.

Helpful as usual. 🙏

Wow! This is me!! I can see so much of myself in this, both as an adult child of on alcoholic & like your mother, my marriage, tension in the home, etc.. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it really helps! I have some work to do...

This was spot on. Made me feel better knowing I’m not the only one who suffered from emotional co-dependency and agonising shame that comes from it. I had to learn the hard way to emotionally detach to save my sanity and redeem my identity. I didn’t know there is a thing that called emotional co-dependency. I always felt I’m just weak. Thank you so much for this lovely intro. I will look into it more. ❤️
