Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m realizing how much of what I believe about myself and the world I just absorbed from somewhere and never actually checked against my own experience
- Every conversation in my life is about logistics or careers or complaints, and I’m starving for somewhere I can actually talk through how to live
- Every conversation I have about anything that matters turns into each side trying to win, and I’m tired of it
- I fuse so completely with whatever I’m thinking or feeling
- A close friend is going through something and I keep just reacting to the words they say rather than reading what they actually need underneath
Practices that may help
- The Perennial Philosophy, Made Practical

It is not a scientific theory but a philosophical synthesis — its practices draw on contemplative traditions whose psychological effects have increasing observational and some experimental support. - Prioritize direct experience over inherited belief
