Self-Aware as hell...& STILL stuck

from Dopamine Diaries · host Coach Kate

Okay… this is gonna be a little unhinged, because I had this realization like… oh.I didn’t not do the work…I just did a shit ton of work that didn’t actually change anything.Like I could explain all my patterns, I could connect every single dot imaginable AND tell you why I was spiraling.....while....actively still spiraling.  LOL So this episode is me basically calling that out.I talk about: how I spent years being “self-aware” but still stuck in the same cycles  why healing actually feels like shit (and the second it does, we go find a new thing to try)  the difference between understanding yourself… and actually not letting your emotions hijack you  and how my brain STILL sometimes freaks out when I’m resting like “hi yes something is definitely wrong???” Also I said something in here that I can’t stop thinking about:it used to feel like my emotions would grab me by the ponytail and just drag me around all day, & now… they show up…but they don’t have hands anymore.Which sounds nice…until you realize you now have to SIT THERE AND FEEL IT.Anyway.If you’ve been on a “healing journey” for years and you’re like “why do I still feel like this???”Hit play & spend 15 minutes with me today.

Explicit The Curious Girl Diaries thecuriousgirldiaries.com Hi I'm Layla London. I'm just the girl next door who recently decided to explore her sexuality. After a 3.5 year, self imposed, dry spell I woke up one day and said "What the heck am I doing to myself?". Why have I just shut off that side of my sexuality? I need physical contact badly. I decided to stop "wasting the pretty" and get out there! Having set out on my "sexual road trip" I'm scratching things off my sex bucket list. I'm getting laid, exploring "kinks" (a word I really didn't know anything about before this), having fun, sifting through the emotions it stirs up in me, blogging and podcasting about it anonymously. Submit your questions and feedback to Layla by emailing [email protected]. For more sexy fun, including blog posts, and unpublished exclusive content visit thecuriousgirldiaries.com. Explicit The Habitat Gimlet On a remote mountain in Hawaii, there's a fake planet Mars. Six volunteers are secluded in an imitation Mars habitat where they will work as imitation astronauts for one very real year. The goal: to help NASA understand what life might be like on the red planet—and plan for the day when the dress rehearsals are over, and we blast off for real. Host Lynn Levy has been chronicling this experiment from the moment the crew set foot in their habitat, communicating with them through audio diaries that detail their discoveries, their frustrations, and their evolving and devolving relationships with each other. From those diaries, Gimlet Media has crafted an addictive serialized documentary: the true story of a fake planet. Explicit
