I can very much relate to being "too much" in my mind and being disconnected from my body. It was a foreign concept to me to understand that our bodies communicate...other than the typical hunger pangs, sleepiness, etc.

I am very much closed off from my body, which is a result of trauma, etc. The brain is self-protective....so it makes sense to me. I am working on trying to listen to my body without letting my brain get in the way by rationalizing, judging, etc.

I still have a way to go....
