GO DEEPER: Living Surrendered, Dawn's workshop on letting go of control

Overthinking keeps so many people from the presence that intimacy needs, and both Dawn and I have had to find our way out of our heads. Dawn shares how she lived in survival mode, constantly making meaning and looking for ways to control life toward some idea of perfection. I share my side: trying to apply logical solutions to emotional problems, and how the two of us spinning in our heads, each trying to get the other to do it our way, left us with no spark. We get into the garbage can story, my fear of making mistakes, and the anxious avoidant pattern underneath it.
Dawn talks about drowning in relationship, healing and nutrition content online until her body finally told her to stop, and why simply ordering her to quit would have pushed her into performance. Then we look at living in your head versus living in your body: why embodiment is simple, what The Body Keeps the Score taught us, why making healing your identity keeps you stuck, and how facing her sexuality brought Dawn home to herself. You have to feel your way out of a thinking problem.
If your mind won't stop trying to control every outcome, Dawn made Living Surrendered for you. It's her workshop on how she let go of control, with the full Q&A. Watch it here:
