The Truth About Rumination, Emotional Disconnection, and the Lower Mind

If you’ve ever felt like mindset work isn’t helping you move forward or like you’re doing everything right but still feel stuck, then this episode is for you.

Today, I’m reflecting on a recent episode from Dr. K (The Healthy Gamer) and sharing my own lived experience with rumination, overthinking, and emotional disconnection. We explore why chronic overthinking isn’t a thinking problem at all. It’s a feeling avoidance pattern rooted in the lower mind.

This is not about “fixing” your mind. It’s about returning to the part of you that never left.

Whether you’ve been stuck in loops of self-doubt, emotional numbness, or mindset work that only scratches the surface, there’s more available to you. And it begins with the willingness to feel.
