I knew this post was directed at my question as soon as I saw the subject line and even before you named me in the post.
Thank you, Mike, for addressing my question directly. You are spot on about my living in my head. I’ve been well rewarded for my logic, organization, strategy, attention to detail, etc. It’s less messy than feelings and has served me well… except when it hasn’t!
I can relate to “homework!” 😊
Thank you for offering me a tool that brings my mind/feelings/body/soul to the table and a process to begin gently exploring those parts of me that I’ve spent most of my life ignoring and attempting to dominate.
I’m skeptical of course (because that’s where my mind goes!) but also in pain, and therefore I’m more curious, excited, open, willing…and grateful.
Love this! Similar to Gabor Mote. The problem resides in our hearts"feelings" not minds. Or better said the lizard brain. Not the thinking brain. And healing that part is a journey. Also, acceptance being the biggest part of this.
I asked. You answered.
