Title: What does “detaching” actually look like for you right now?
Post by: Mutt on February 08, 2026, 11:31:28 AM
When I first got here, detaching sounded very clean and absolute, almost binary. In my experience, it often feels more complicated than that, especially when emotions, history, and real-life constraints are involved.

I’m curious how others are experiencing detaching right now.
   •   How does it show up for you at this point?
   •   Does it feel steady, stop-start, or something else?
   •   What part of it has been hardest to sit with so far?
