Episode notes

When I was thinking about detachment, I just assumed that detachment meant you put up this boundary. This person is not in your life. So basically again, my sense of control like, okay, I can just reorder everything. And then these people are in and these people are out. But you say that the detachment isn't being detached from the person. It is detaching from the agony of the involvement with the person. I mean, it's a process and those aren't just words. Everything is a process in life. We don't have to invalidate it."
