Over the years i've worked with countless people who tell me same thing: I feel numb. I feel like I live in my head...
For a long time, I lived life this way (and still get caught sometimes with ruminating thoughts, disconnected from my body).
I didn't want to feel. I liked being numb. The truth was that every time I stopped being numb, i started feeling and experiencing all the shit I didn't want to deal with. Anger, rage, grief, sadness, confusion, feeling lost, lonely... the list was long.
But here's the deal. Here's what I've learned over the years....
Living in your head and numbing out isn't a problem. It's not an indication that you're broken, or that there's something wrong with you.
It's a form of self-protection.
It's an indication that somewhere along the way you needed to check out from what you were feeling. Maybe you were taught to do that, or maybe it was simply a way for you to protect yourself from the pain you felt growing up when - you were bullied, abused, neglected, hurt, broken up with, or constantly misunderstood.
It's not a bad thing, it's simply a pattern that you can learn to rework.
But it might mean taking a risk. A risk to connect to what has ben waiting for you in your physical form - the anger, grief, confusion (and the good stuff... the joy, love, and peace that you've also been searching for).
