Moving through a dark time and emotional numbness
from Living on the B Side · host Birgit Livesey
Emotional numbness can strike anyone in their life. Especially when we navigate tricky and hard times, which take a lot out of us. In this episode I am trying to share my personal thoughts around the first few months of 2023, how I shut down emotionally because life was too overwhelming for me and how the song ‘Wild Flower’ by BTS member RM penetrated my ‘numbness bubble’ and allowed me to slowly return to life. If you are experiencing anything similar, I hope this episode shows you that music can potentially help you start to feel again, allow you to move through the emotions that need releasing and return to start living life a little more. During this episode I chat about: The path to my darkness and numbness – why 2023 did not start well for me How numbness feels (or not!) How ‘Wild Flower’ by RM has penetrated that bubble How this song is like my healing medicine Why I can smile again and feel happier, even if things aren’t as I wish they were Why music can be part of our recovery to happiness How I deepened my connection with music and become my ‘partner in crime’ Life is worth living! Link to the blog post I refer to in this episode: WILD FLOWERS – TIME TO OVERCOME MY OBSTACLES & SEIZE NEW OPPORTUNITIES More about Living on the B Side: I’ve always loved Music, it was and is part of my daily life. There are so many genres and songs that are connected with special moments, memories or phases in my life. This is what ‘Living on the B Side’ is all about – songs that for one reason or the other I love and listen to. Mainly from the 80’s to the late 90’s, I want to share these with you in the hope that you find a new artist or band or even genre of music that brings you as much joy as they bring me. ‘Living on the B Side’ also wants to highlight the positive impact Music can bring, how it can change a person’s life. So if you have a favourite song that means HEAPS to you, please get in touch & share it with me.
