Why Becoming Our Own Person Is Required to Mature in Love

Becoming Me

Episode 92
In order to love authentically, we need to have a healthy sense of who we are as a separate SELF.
In this episode I talk about why being enmeshed or too detached in our relationships both prevent us from becoming more fully alive and authentically loving.
I also address a question about the particular challenge of being an Asian/Chinese Catholic making this interior journey of integration.
This episode is part of a series taken from my 30 Day Instagram Live Challenge where I went on live video to speak about different aspects of the interior journey every day for 30 days straight.

REFLECTION PROMPT
Where on the spectrum do you lie? Do you lie closer to enmeshment or detachment? Think about some of the ways in which you have experienced enmeshment or detachment in your close relationships. Think of one way in which you can start your journey to stop these patterns. It doesn't have to be something big. Any step in the right direction is progress.
