In cognitive psychology, the terms attachment and detachment refer to how strongly we hold ideas as a part of our identity.
Psychologist Adam Grant (2021) refers to the value of two kinds of detachment as useful:
1. Detaching our present from our past identity,
2. Detaching our opinions from our identity.
Link to the concept of attachment in parent-child bonding.
Link to the concept of self-identity.
