Ever feel like you’ve tried every coping strategy out there: meditation, journaling, affirmations and yet you’re still stuck in the same place? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, we look beyond all the tools and techniques to get real about what actually creates change. Spoiler alert: it’s not another new coping method. 

It’s the story you believe about yourself that makes the difference. Together, we’ll rethink why quick fixes don’t last and explore how shifting your beliefs, not just your habits, can finally move you forward. 

Let’s get honest about what it really takes to change for good. 

“We need to normalize dissociation.”
“It’s okay to dissociate.”
“We all dissociate sometimes.”

You’ve probably heard some version of this lately.

But here’s the honest truth no one is saying: Most people aren’t dissociating. They’re shutting down.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the real reason people think they’re dissociating and how the phrase has been so watered down that it no longer matches what’s actually happening.

I share:

• the survival strategy I used to live by

• why avoiding emotions felt safer than feeling them

• what I had to unlearn in order to stop numbing out

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, checked out, numb, or like you’re “not here,” this episode will help you understand yourself in a way that brings relief instead of shame.
