Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I feel cut off from everything, like I’m walled inside my own head and nothing reaches me
- I’m caught up in my own head almost all the time, and the rare times I really stop and take in a forest or a shoreline, I feel like a small part of something huge and alive
- I fuse so completely with whatever I’m thinking or feeling
- My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
- When a feeling grabs me I become it
