The Pocket with Chris Griffin #77: Daniel Raphael: I’ve Spent My Whole Life Trying To Be Normal
Daniel Raphael has been called a real-life wizard. But what makes this episode special is the raw journey of someone who was born feeling everything, then spent years trying to feel nothing just to fit in.
From reading minds and seeing people’s deepest insecurities as a child, to battling dissociation, depression, and suicidal thoughts after years of shutting himself down… Daniel opens up about the pain of being misunderstood, the journey back to self, and the power of energetic healing.
We talk about the “system” that keeps people stuck in loops of shame and smallness. We go deep into identity, energy, ownership, victimhood, and how healing your internal world changes everything outside of you.
This is a conversation about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
Daniel’s lived it and he’s here to help others do the same.
