Today we are talking about denial and the things we refuse to look at. Often we avoid addressing things head on because we don't know what to do to change them. We don't know where to start. We start by acknowledging they exist. #denial #makingchanges #smallsteps #mentalhealth #elephantintheroom

Today we are talking about distraction vs detachment. Often, when we are feeling tough emotions we want to distract ourselves in order not to feel. Whereas detachment might be a better move. Unattached from the outcomes but working through the feelings. #emotions #detachment #distractions #dothework #mentalhealth #lx2codependencypodcast

We can manage our resources, create goals, and set boundaries to a better experience through life. #satisfaction #sacrifices #boundaries #betterlife #mentalhealth

Today we are talking about memories and how we can change the narrative. We can recall something from a different perspective. We can create a better understanding of who have been and who are becoming. #memories #rebuilding #resilience #childhood

Boundaries and bridges help keep us safe and maintain connection. #maintainpeace #forgiveness #burnorbuild #bridges #connection #lx2codependencypodcast
