About this episode

This episode discusses how to detach from unhealthy relationships and protect your peace, particularly for survivors of narcissistic abuse.

Hey, Survivor! Detaching from unhealthy relationships can feel impossible—especially for survivors of narcissistic abuse who were conditioned to fix, manage, or absorb other people’s behaviors, emotions, and thinking. In this episode, we explore detachment, inspired by the classic recovery book Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. Detachment helps survivors stop reacting to relationships and situations, focus on their healing, and protect their peace while staying present. Creating space and healthy living are key. If you’ve ever felt the stress of trying to control others or outcomes that aren’t your responsibility, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and remember: You can care without repair—detachment helps to clear the air. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here. Become a Vibrant Survivor insider here. Let's connect on IG!
