In this powerful episode of The ARTwork of YOU, Lori Gouhin explores what it means to truly separate yourself from the constant voice in your head.

Building on last week’s episode about “safetying” yourself through trauma, Lori shares what happens next when your body starts to feel safe, but your mind still won’t let go. Drawing insights from The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, Lori unpacks the experience of becoming the observer of your thoughts and how that shift can change everything.

Through relatable stories, real-life examples, and practical techniques, Lori invites you to stop gripping so tightly to negative self-talk, outdated narratives, and emotional loops that no longer serve you. Instead, she teaches you how to reclaim your peace moment by moment not by fixing your thoughts, but by learning how to release them.

This episode will empower anyone navigating trauma recovery, overthinking, or the overwhelm of inner noise to begin practicing gentle self-observation, deeper presence, and conscious letting go.

Episode Highlights:

● Why you're not the voice in your head and how to become the one who hears it
● Lori’s personal reflection: Letting go of thoughts that used to control her days
● Understanding resistance and how it causes more suffering than the thought itself
● A powerful reframe: thoughts as clouds, always passing by
● How observing rather than identifying creates emotional freedom
● Weekly Practice: 3 small tools to help you break the loop and build peace
  - Name the voice
  - Breathe through the trigger
  - Let go in real time

You don’t need to control your thoughts, you just need to stop letting them control you.

This episode is your reminder that healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about noticing, observing, and reclaiming the calm that’s always been available inside of you.
