detaching in love

christinamadams — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 02:21:25 +0000

detachment is key to recovery from codependency. it strengthens our healthy relationships – the ones that we want to grow and flourish. it benefits our difficult relationships – the ones that are teaching us to cope. it helps us! detachment is not something we do once. it’s a daily behavior in recovery. we detach with the understanding that life is unfolding exactly as it needs to, for others and ourselves. the way life unfolds is good, even when it hurts. and ultimately, we an benefit from even the most difficult situations.

stillness is where all of creation begins. everything imaginable and unimaginable is created in stillness.

talk therapy. what is it?

christinamadams — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:28:20 +0000

therapy is an interpersonal remedy for challenges in living.

all kinds of challenges. challenges living in relationship, out of relationship, with friends, with family, with career choices, with change. just living. therapy provides a safe space to explore patterns, express feelings, gain clarity on past and present relationships and identify hopes for the future. it can provide relief from suffering and add hope to life.

therapy is like putting a jig saw puzzle together. but with words. all you have to do is talk.
