3 Reasons Why Cord Cutting Doesn’t Work
I know this is going to cause some polarization. I’m tackling this topic knowing that it will piss some people off, but I’ve been needing to say this for a long time.
Here are the reasons why I’m broadcasting that cord cutting doesn’t work, and many of these observations come from my own experience with this ever popular spiritual method (as well as my friends’, family’s and clients’ stories):
#1 — Cutting the cords does not heal codependency and addictive behaviors.
First of all, if you’re in an unhealthy relationship with a person (or even a substance, job, money, etc) notice if this is a repeating pattern. I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve experienced this before over and over. I’m not judging because I’m healing my own set of issues with codependency.
I’m addicted to outside validation from the men in my life, for starters. If I get validation from my dad, my boyfriend, a lover, a boss or co-worker that is like my “crack.” It’s taken lots of years of deep work with integrating my unconscious and I’m getting better year after year. I’ve been told to cut cords with these people and situations. I tried it many times and guess what, it didn’t work.
