This is great. This is exactly what I was thinking recently. Quit your addictions. Process your pain. Stop running.

The book "Running on empty" by Dr. Jonice Webb touches on the emotional neglect side of things, highly recommended

Thank you for your channel! I just wanted to add this: for guys who work with electicity - numbness is an emotional fuse for your brain.

I'm on the edge of a great change in my life, lots of stress and anxiety started to hit these last weeks. I was feeling numb without even noticing, and when I started to think about all this while you talking throughout the video I kinda "remembered" to feel

I use a feeling/emotion wheel to assess my current emotions and understand why I feel a certain way.

Hey Connor, very gtateful for your video's. I've been binge watching them for some days now, wish I had started earlier lol... Might've prevented alot of the bad events that unfolded these past months for me. Very grateful that I'm heading in a better direction, for a big part thanks to your vids, finally able to sleep somewhat better and make some better choices :)

This is AWESOME. I really appreciate it. I’m just hung up on one detail… “De-thaw.” I was very distracted by that term. To thaw means to melt, no longer be frozen, de-freeze, if you will. So to say de-thaw you’re essentially saying re-freeze… or re-numb, rather. Am I totally wrong here? Please help me fully understand. 😅

It manifests in the mid area. Burning urethra, prolapse, belly pain, prostate pain. It manifests in many in my family, uncle, aunt, I suspect my daughter may be the same. My mother commited suicide over it. Tough stuff. Breathing and meditating is a superb way to see/navigate thru the haze
