Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s this feeling sitting in me and I can feel it in my body, but I don’t really get what it’s about or what it wants from me, and I want to get curious about it instead of just analyzing myself.
• I can feel the feeling and I’m not running from it, but I have no idea what it’s really about
• I’m stuck endlessly in my head
• When I try to ask "who am I" it just turns into more abstract thinking and goes nowhere
• When I think about this whole situation there’s something my body clearly registers
