Detachment

Detachment is the difference between emotional involvement and emotional awareness. Detachment allows you to see your emotions as they form, develop, intensify, and change.

Detachment

• I will not permit myself to become emotionally involved in matters that should not be my concern.
• I will not interfere with the working out of another's difficulties, however dear and close we may be to each other.
• Detachment is essential to any healthy relationship between people.
• Each of us is a free individual, with neither one in control of the other.
