Addiction to Thinking
Introduction
Randall came to me feeling trapped in his own misery, unable to find a way out. Despite experiencing rare moments of profound joy and connection with life, he struggled to recreate these experiences.
The Dilemma
Randall, highly intelligent, often sabotaged his own happiness. When he felt a deep connection, he immediately tried to analyze it. This mental dive disrupted the very joy he sought. His desire for control over these spiritual connections overshadowed the connections themselves. Randall believed that if he could understand the process intellectually, he could master it. However, his need for control stemmed from avoiding inner discomfort?"feelings of loneliness and helplessness.
The Addiction to Thinking
Many of us are trapped in a cycle of overthinking. We believe that if we can just figure everything out, we can control others and outcomes. This ruminating leads us to obsessively search for the right things to say or do, hoping to manage our interactions and emotions?"essentially an addiction aimed at avoiding pain.
Randall’s Journey
During our sessions, Randall would retreat into his mind whenever emotions surfaced. My goal was to guide him back to his feelings, encouraging him to confront them. His fear of loneliness and past pain often pushed him back to intellectualizing. Yet, true spiritual connection required him to face his emotions rather than dodge them with overthinking.
Understanding the Root
Addictions often mask deeper pain, especially a profound soul loneliness prevalent in society. Ignoring our emotions, our Inner Child, leads to a sense of isolation. By seeking to understand?"and not evade?"our feelings, we open ourselves to spiritual connections otherwise blocked by our avoidance strategies.
The Breakthrough
After months of effort, Randall learned to embrace his emotions. Facing them wasn’t as daunting as he imagined. By no longer abandoning his Inner Child with continuous thinking, he felt less alone. This inner connection fostered his spiritual connection, achieved not through control but by being present in the moment.
Randall discovered that while he couldn’t control others or specific outcomes, he could choose his response to his pain, learning from it instead of protecting himself from it. This shift in focus allowed him to connect with the spirit more consistently, realizing control was never the key to fulfillment; presence and acceptance were.
Conclusion
Randall’s journey highlights how surrendering control and embracing our feelings can lead to deeper connections with ourselves and the world around us. It’s a path of learning and presence, moving away from the confines of overthinking and into the heart of genuine spiritual connection.
