[0:00] We tend to dissociate even from

[0:01] pleasure.

[0:03] Now, if we've been traumatized and we

[0:04] have a lot of intense emotions that do

[0:06] come up periodically,

[0:09] it can be easy to convince ourselves

[0:11] that we just can't do it. I I always

[0:13] distract. I I always run away. I always

[0:16] whatever my go-to is, an addiction or a

[0:20] strong habit or something.

[0:22] But again, look closely at what's

[0:24] happening. There are times when you feel

[0:25] calm.

[0:27] There are times when you feel present.

[0:29] There are times when the emotional

[0:30] textures or the feeling textures are

[0:33] reasonably neutral.

[0:35] You may even find that they're

[0:36] pleasurable.

[0:44] the habit really doesn't have anything

[0:46] to do with anything other than its own

[0:49] momentum.
