The pain of disconnecting is as real as physical pain, and one thing I didn't know before reading this book was that it shares the same neural pathways of the feelings of physical pain.
Feeling disconnected and lonely can be as painful as physical injuries, and in this episode of The Recovered Life Show, Kristina Dennis tackles these feelings head-on. Drawing from Dr. Brené Brown's 'Atlas of the Heart', Kristina delves into the neuroscience that explains why disconnection hurts so much. She reveals that the same neural pathways responsible for physical pain also process the emotional pain of loneliness and insecurity.
But don’t worry, Kristina doesn’t just leave you hanging with the science; she offers practical solutions too. She emphasizes the importance of reaching out and connecting, even when it's the last thing you feel like doing. Communities and recovery groups thrive because they foster habits of showing up and being present, which are crucial for overcoming feelings of disconnection.
Kristina also touches on how setting boundaries can help manage insecurity and loneliness, and she shares personal insights on motherhood and addiction. Whether you're struggling with isolation or looking to strengthen your connections, this episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt wisdom. Tune in to learn how you can start rewiring your brain for better relationships and a more connected life.
