By losing myself, I mean I go numb or I go all in my head and I'm no longer in my body.
Ever felt like you're just going through the motions, detached from your own life? In this episode of 'Thru the Wringer', Mike and Jo tackle the complex topic of dissociation. They kick things off by explaining what dissociation really means—a disconnection from our feelings, thoughts, and even our physical selves. It's a survival mechanism that might have protected us in the past but now leaves us feeling numb and disconnected.
Mike and Jo share their personal experiences and dive into how this coping strategy, while initially helpful, can rob us of enriching relationships and a fulfilling life. They discuss how being constantly on guard and distracted can prevent us from truly experiencing joy. The duo also highlights the importance of mindfulness as a tool to reconnect with ourselves and heal from past traumas.
With their signature blend of humor and heartfelt conversation, Mike and Jo offer practical advice on how to start feeling your feelings again and reclaiming your life. If you've ever felt lost within yourself, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a compassionate and enlightening discussion that could be the first step toward finding your way back to a more connected and joyful life.
