Anything not to feel: my experience of numbing and avoidance
from Dog Walk Thoughts - with Clare E Kenny · host kennyclare844
In this episode, I’m walking the dogs (obviously!) and talking about something I know a lot about: numbing. From addiction to anxiety to undiagnosed ADHD, I’ve spent most of my life avoiding difficult emotions - and living in a constant state of fight-or-flight. I share how that’s shown up in my body, the role my childhood played, and what it’s looked like to finally start feeling instead of numbing. It’s messy, personal, and probably one of the most important things I’ve learned about my own wellbeing.
