Get out of your head — your body's been talking to you all morning. In this episode of Waking Up With Ryan, we slow down to truly listen to what's happening beneath the surface: the physical sensations and emotions we so often override with thought.

Ryan explores why we learned early in life to dissociate from uncomfortable emotions in order to feel safe and loved, and how that avoidance quietly builds pressure until it erupts. You'll learn why feeling only the "comfortable half" of your emotional range limits your capacity to be fully yourself, and why difficult emotions deserve to be welcomed, not shunned.
