Intellectual Bypassing & Compensatory Thoughts as Coping Mechanisms for Trauma: Feel Body Sensations

There are many reasons a person can develop an intellectual bypass. One reason is if there has been a history of trauma and a person finds a coping mechanism by placing the majority of their attention in their mind. Another reason is that it is encouraged and rewarded by society.

Bypassing how one is really feeling can lead to trapped emotions and compensatory thoughts that are not aligned with our true feelings.
