On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Dr. Ramani: If You're Thinking About Going No Contact With a Family Member - Listen to THIS (How to Know If It's Time To Walk Away)
What was said
"I'm recently actually now actively kind of going through a no-contact family situation. And it is something that had played out for such a long time in a family system. The child part of me is like, something's not right. And then the Adult part of me is like, nah, I can turn away. It wasn't a person I had contact with. Then I was having more. I'm like, wait a minute, I know more about this. It doesn't feel cool. Then the terrible thing happened. I was like, no, this would be a cancellation of myself in the name of culturally trying to maintain a relationship. So that evolution, I'm telling you, for me, that was a 40-year process."
In a rare personal disclosure on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula revealed she is currently going through a no-contact decision with a family member after a 40-year evolution of recognizing harm. She emphasized that this was not a decision made lightly but rather a protective choice after realizing continued contact would mean abandoning herself. The revelation underscores her point that no-contact decisions are rarely impulsive.
