Reconnecting with Yourself

Feeling disconnected from yourself, your body, or your needs is a sign your nervous system has been in survival mode. Your Daily® can help you reconnect.

Understanding Disconnection​

When you've been in survival mode for a long time, you might:

  • Feel numb or disconnected from your emotions
  • Have trouble knowing what you need or want
  • Struggle to feel sensations in your body
  • Go through the motions without really being present
  • Have difficulty trusting yourself
  • Feel like you're watching your life from the outside

This disconnection served a purpose - it protected you. Now it's time to gently reconnect.

How Your Daily® Can Help​

Start with the AI Health Coach​

The AI Health Coach can guide you through the process of reconnecting with yourself at a pace that feels safe.

Building Reconnection​

Reconnecting with yourself takes time and patience:

  1. Start small - Notice one sensation, one feeling, one need at a time
  2. Be gentle - Your disconnection protected you; honor that
  3. Practice regularly - Even 2-5 minutes daily helps
  4. Trust the process - Reconnection happens gradually
