Emotional Detachment and Resilience

  • Emotional detachment, crucial for resilience, is about surrendering to the ephemeral nature of things.
  • It involves accepting that everything is temporary and choosing gratitude over futile clinging.

Emotional Detachment vs. Suppression

  • Emotional detachment isn't an absence of emotions, but a healthy separation from them.
  • Avoid emotional fusion (being consumed by emotions) and amputation (suppressing emotions).
