13. From Autopilot to Avatar Mode - Dissociation, Healing & Full-Body Presence

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of willpower—but a lack of presence?

In this episode of Unashamed and Unchained, Danny Poelman explores the often-overlooked coping mechanism of dissociation—what it is, why it shows up (especially for high-achievers), and how it keeps you disconnected from your body, your emotions, and ultimately, your goals.

You’ll learn:

• Why dissociation is more common than you think (yes, even in “successful” people)
• How overthinking can become a form of emotional avoidance
• Practical tools to reconnect with your body and stop bypassing your feelings
• How increasing your emotional presence becomes a superpower in every area of your life

This episode is a game-changer for anyone looking to heal deeply, create sustainable change, and finally feel fully syncedin your own life.
