Miglior citazione da From Hypervigilance to Heartfelt Connection

The analytical mind becomes this security blanket, but it's actually keeping us from the very thing we're seeking—genuine connection. Because real intimacy requires us to be present with uncertainty, with not knowing.

Domanda di input

I want to be a loving father and husband but i never truly learned how to just feel. Instead i learned to be hypervigilant and to analyze everything in order to be able to protect myself. Nowadays i'm hunted by things that doesbt make fully sense to me, like behavior of persons ect, because i have to analyse until it "clicks" in order for my brain to be able to put it aside. This is exhausting. I'd like to free myself and be more connected with my feelings.
