Successful And Stuck
So You've Tried Everything And Still Feel Stuck... - Episode 4
In today's episode, we are diving into why high achievers often feel stuck DESPITE trying various self-help methods like therapy, coaching, journaling, and more.
We go over how healing and growth are not logical processes but are deeply tied to the nervous system's sense of safety. I share the importance of somatic experiencing and creating safety within the body to break free from adaptations like perfectionism and overthinking.
Key topics:
1. What “Trying Everything” Usually Looks Like
2. Why Insight Alone Doesn’t Shift Your Behavior
3. Over-Functioning as a Trauma Adaptation
4. The Illusion of Control as a Safety Strategy
5. Progress Isn’t Linear—It’s Layered
