About this episode

Feeling empty, blank, numb, or disconnected? You are not broken. These feelings are often rooted in unresolved childhood shame and trauma that taught you to disconnect as a protection mechanism.

What you’ll learn• Why numbness and emptiness are protective responses from childhood • How emotional definitions are learned from caregivers and culture • The “loss of inherent power” concept and why it causes disconnection • Simple daily practices to validate your worth and heal physical symptoms • Kenny’s 3-step Emotional Authenticity Process: 1) What am I feeling? 2) Where in my body do I feel it? 3) What is my first memory?


Practical steps mentioned in the video• Start tracking accomplishments each day to validate your worth • Download and use the Feelings Wheel and check in 3–5 times daily • Use the 3-step Emotional Authenticity Process to find original memories to heal • Explore the 10-step Codependence/Recovery guide to give the pain back to the source
