359. How to TRULY detach
The Psychology of your 20s
We can be so fixed on a job, a person, an outcome that we fuse our identity to it – and, crucially, forget that we’re okay without it. In today’s bonus episode, we unpack detachment: why we cling so tightly to people and outcomes, what over-attachment does to our mind and mood, and how to loosen the grip in a way that feels calm, kind, and clear. We explore: • Why we become attached to certain people or outcomes • The impact of becoming overly attached on our behaviours, thoughts and emotions • The Buddhist concept of ‘non-attachment’ • How detaching from the outcome can keep us grounded • The value of the Stoic mindset Listen now!
