I share practical tips and insights that can help you start to build a stronger sense of self and develop healthier habits.

In this episode, the speaker delves into the concept of attachment and how it can cause suffering in our lives. We're often told to "let go" or "detach" from things that are causing us pain, but what does that really mean? Is it about caring less or loving less? Not quite. Attachment is not the enemy, but rather our unhealthy attachment styles that can lead to anxiety, fear, and grief.

Attachment is not just about relationships, but also about our attachment to physical objects, places, and even our identities.

I talk about studies that show the effectiveness of attachment security priming in improving positive emotions and reducing negative emotions. And how we can apply this concept to our own lives by identifying what we're attached to, where we stand in relation to it, and how we can use perspective to change our attachment.

If you're struggling with attachment and the pain it can cause, this episode is a must-listen.
