Today's Heartlift with Janell
Sometimes the story we tell ourselves is not really true. Sometimes the story others tell about us is not really true. On "Today's Heartlift with Janell," Author, Trauma-informed, board-certified marriage and family specialist, and Professional Heartlifter, Janell Rardon, opens conversations about how emotional health and mental fitness effects absolutely every area of our lives. When we possess and practice healthy, strong, resilient emotional health practices, life is so much better. Read Janell's newest book, "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You."
Today's Heartlift with Janell
145. Reimagining How Healthy Detachment Works
Today, we open a much-needed, quite candid, conversation about the practice of "healthy detachment." "Wait a minute, Janell," you say. "You are supposed to be teaching us about healthy "secure attachment." Yes, you are right. But, after a seemingly silly holiday of banter about my very skinny pencil Christmas tree, I realized I had a little more work to do on strengthening my sense of self AND on the very unhealthy, really debilitating behavior of getting my self-worth or sense of okay-ness from the looks and words of those around me. As an Enneagram 2, I am prone to these "shadow sides" of personality, but it doesn't mean I like them. I am a firm believer that God helps us change and become stronger every day. I am not stopping now. I want to be my whole-est self. I pray my story informs your story.
