It's strange because my mind is obsessed with wanting to understand why this, why that.... always looking for the answer. But actually some answers can be really straightforward, so there's no point to keep searching. At some point it's no longer productive and I should be willing accept the feeling for what it is, accept the fact that sometimes I'm scared or hurt.
@@LucYousuf I did get out of this! I only spend time searching for answers when a particular feeling is actually interesting and complicated to figure out (for example why am I jealous of this person). When something or someone in my life is making me feel bad, I'm no longer too ashamed to point it out. Sometimes you need to step away from a relationship or a career or the dreams you have for yourself, in this case the thinking is yourself subconsciously avoiding this answer that is difficult to accept. I also am more confident in taking action on the feeling, communicating my needs to others, instead of hiding and pretending in order to not inconvenience someone else.
Love your Videos❤️ Jodi My problem is my numbness, where I can’t feel my emotions truly/fully its like my emotions are stuck inside of me and keeps me not to feel it, I want to end it and activate my emotions again.... Jodi Any ways to feel my emotions again.. Thanks Jodi❤️
Your worry about it intensifies it. If you didn't worry it may ease a bit. Your hyper focus on it releases adrenaline which keep the emotions numb. You release focus, they'll come back
My grandad died around 9 months ago and I ignored it and felt overly happy for a while then this strange feeling came about because I couldn’t handle it now I’m numb and I’m sort of in the awkward point where I’m finding comfort in numbness
Wow, i love this life changing video! I've always felt that for a while now, lately... Its been hard for me to daydream or fall in love because its like someone always interrupts it! Whenever i start to feel like iam about to have a good dream, or admire beyonce's face or even start to feel feelings for someone or someplace or something in my memory, it seems i cant fully think about it because what im thinking is the people that dont like it or purposely scream or interrupt it ...so, honestly ...ive been afraid to feel something fully or daydream because of people in my life in the past or present.Its been a really long time since i felt something fully and you are on the good team that recognizes, we can feel & feel fully! I believe this video gave me hope! Thanks... In Jesus's name😃
This is really helpful Jodi. I am definitely going to try and internalize this approach and have it replace the one I'd previously been taking, which has only added to my dysfunction. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future content from you. Have a nice day.
How, I don't understand, my natural response is to fight the feeling. I'm dying of loneliness but afraid to meet new people; how do I just "feel" that?
+EvilReptiles your suffering is in the story. You have a story of loneliness and you hate yourself for not being able to be brave enough to meet new people. Instead love yourself through the loneliness. If you are kinder and more compassionate, you may build your strength in doing what you never thought you can.
+Jodi Aman How could I ever love myself through loneliness, that concept is completely anathema to me. It feels so awful, I find it difficult to be kind and compassionate when I'm in pain. I guess I'll never understand.
I didn't go through anything traumatic but sometimes I think I mimic emotion or just pretend. As if I've pretended for so long that I think I feel something. Sometimes I can just turn it off and not feel anything. I think it could be a genetic thing. Me ,my dad and my brother are all kind of blank.
Thank you for the video. The message it’s valuable but I don’t think promise of getting rid of the feeling at the end is necessary healthy and helpful. This expectation feeds the desire to get rid of the feeling - which is its opposite of feeling it. This only reinforces the problem instead of changing the attitude toward the feeling. It may, after all, be there in spite of the practice, and it doesn't have to go away at all; that shouldn't be the goal either.
@@doctorjodi From psychology and spirituality, which combines elements of psychology, such as Buddhism, for example, and my own experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches us that "it's not about feeling good, it's about feeling what we feel without struggle." We have no control over feelings, when they come and when they go, how intense they are. We can indirectly influence them, but ultimately we have no control over them. We can control our reactions, our actions, but not our feelings. The promise of getting rid of the feeling suggests something completely different. Do you notice this? Although we can do the practice, depending on the situation and the feeling, its intensity and depth, the feeling may or may not disappear. Some feelings may need many days before they can go.
I have the total opposite problem. I wish I can stop feeling. I want to run away from my feelings. My feelings have given me nothing but a broken heart.
You cannot run away one or the other day you have to feel it cux its your own feeling a part of yourself Which will come again and again to be healed. Running away from it, its like running away from your own self
Learning to deal with it better and understanding it more can help, And you can do it! Talking to someone you trust can help too. Some distraction can be good sometimes and rest but running away wont make it feel better, Its a process dont give up
Ever since i was in middle school all kids think i was weird and stay away from me because i never socialize often. They only came to me for help and when it comes to me who needed it the most, they pretend like i don't exist. Ever since then i tried to numb my feelings. Being in school feels really alone even though i have jusf a few besties. My dad is always busy then i feel really awkward to talk with my step mother. So i isolate myself and i became more lonely and more numb
My parents divorced in 1997 and I started to feel strong negative emotions around them a few months later, I'm nearly 40 now and I still don't know how to deal with it, can anyone offer any advice? I've not had a normal life because of it ,
I know this video is over 6 years old, which is probably the reason, but I can't seem to find the correct link to the free guided meditation. Is it still available? 🙏
Doctor pls tell me what can I do I feel so suppressed because of exams Fear I can't express my feeling now that I used it before pls pls pls replay me what can I do...
Not sure I understand, the stress over exams made you shut your feelings down and now you can get in touch with them again? How long has it been since the exams?
The feelings got so overwhelming that i started to armor my body by bracing and now I dont know how to let that bracing go. It has become a habit to squeeze so tightly. And supress. I am so tightly wound.
Take it in parts. Practice a squeeze and release with different body parts. Like, just your hand. Get the body understanding of that releasing with a smaller area and it may help you apply it to more and more of your body. Good luck.
I feel like not feeling is easy and if u feel u would lose it because of everything u have been holding back and why show feelings when u will never find the answer
I lost my feeling There is no happiness, no sadness, no amusement, no anger, sometimes too much anger, no pleasure #I am a girl without feelings actully like robot
