In this episode of It’s Not What You Think, Julie explores how disconnection can sit underneath anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism and the feeling that you’re always taking care of everyone else while losing track of what you need.

We look at how some of these patterns can begin as ways of maintaining connection with others, why they can follow us long into adulthood and how modern life can make it even easier to keep our attention everywhere except ourselves.

Most importantly, we explore what reconnection can actually look like. Not another self-improvement project, but learning to notice yourself again.

In this episode:

  • Why disconnection doesn’t always look like loneliness

  • How we can learn to disconnect from ourselves to stay connected to others

  • Why highly capable people can still feel disconnected

  • How old patterns and modern life can reinforce each other

  • Simple ways to begin noticing your own needs, feelings and responses again

]]> In this episode of It’s Not What You Think, Julie explores how disconnection from ourselves can sit underneath anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism and exhaustion. She looks at how we can learn early in life to focus on the needs, emotions and expectations of others and gradually lose touch with our own. The episode explores why disconnection can be difficult to recognize, particularly when it looks like competence, independence or being the person everyone relies on. Julie also examines how modern life can reinforce these patterns by continually pulling our attention outward. Rather than treating reconnection as another self-improvement task, Julie offers a different starting point: noticing. By becoming more aware of our feelings, needs and automatic responses, we can begin developing a stronger connection with ourselves while remaining connected to the people around us.
