From Injury to Insight: The Journey of Emotional and Physical Recovery

This chapter reflects on a personal injury during parkour training, using it as a metaphor for deeper emotional challenges and the collapse of personal identity. It explores the shift from theoretical understanding of emotions to a practical, embodied approach to recovery and self-discovery. Through personal anecdotes, the chapter emphasizes the importance of bodily awareness, the distinction between heart and gut sensations, and how reducing expectations can enhance joy and manage anxiety.
