Ok, so obviously I am a dork. One of my fascinations is neurobiology. Unmanaged self-awareness actually IS the challenge for many people.
Really fresh research from a huge number of different groups is confirming this. Revved-up ‘Top-down’ processing (model-based processing, what your brain is trained to expect of the world) that is not moderated by interoceptive awareness (ability to sense internal body states clearly) leads to specific types of anxiety disorders.
‘Listening to your gut’ is a real thing and some people naturally struggle to do that, through either natural disposition or childhood trauma, or a combination of both.
