I’m lost. I quit a career that I hated and escaped a domestic violence situation. Nobody understands what I’m doing and constantly has unwanted advice or projects their own fears of the future onto me. But I’m more ok than i’ve ever been, getting back to the basics of living.
Only a person who has been highly traumatised and r3covere£ could have made this video. My older brother was the one who traumatised me the most ...he was/is psychotic as a result of his own early life trauma. He has total childhood amnesia and is struturally disociared. Thanks Daniel you really are the real deal.
My parents used to humiliate me like that too. Now I know how to fight back "At least my dog and I love each other, what do you have? A kid you don't love and don't love you either"
My best friend was a dog. I miss him more than anything else in the world. He always appreciated me. When I am completely alone, I reminisce over how much joy it gave me to bring and witness the joy in him and sob over how it's all done and gone.
Your experience reminded me of my experience backpacking for two weeks. The whole experience was life changing. I was a sophomore in high school and what changed my perspectives the most was when they left us alone in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for 24 hours. I bawled my eyes out and it was not sadness that I was feeling, I was feeling alive, like a part of nature and I couldn’t believe my existence and the earth. I was grateful to have been with myself on that day. Then I got a sunburn meditating on being alive, connected to earth.
I actually found your channel after "losing" my therapist (she didn't disappear or die or anything, she just wasn't helping so I quit therapy). I later did a search for 'therapy doesn't work' and found your video critiquing psychotherapy
Wooow.... I thought too, I did know who I'am for 50 years, and I'm so incredibly lost now. I have no idea what I'm doing in this world. I'm so thankful for this video! It was wonderful to hear your reflections and insights. I really needed to hear all this.. Thank you!
I find value in your videos. Thanks for taking the time, and expending the effort, to make and post them. Watching your videos is affirming and calming. They are like a little oasis when I'm wandering around not knowing where I'm going or what my purpose is. :)
It's all great when you're not stuck in it since your teens, and now going 10+ years feeling even more lost and struggling to keep yourself alive, even when you have others to provide for you materially (basics) and take care of adult stuff.
As I ride the waves of your well spoken memories in find me ,in tears ,huge different between me and your accomplishments, I'm a van Gogh type ,but a mirror of you ...thanks
Often I lack words to describe my emotional state, where I am with my with healing, awareness, as a result of my childhood trauma. Listening to you, your words, how you feel, what you feel helps me to understand myself better, to put names to my experiences. Thank you!
Great video Daniel! I call what you describe as "Freedom". The ability to come up with decision or choice to get out of a situation no matter how hard or difficult it is. The ability to overcome a block by means of creativity. To "renew" yourself in the face of obstacles. That requires something from the unconscious to emerge. And such power is a newly aquired "symbol" to understand yourself.
Ironically I think the commonplace idea of being "free" is mostly an illusion. And I think myself I didn't know the meaning of Freedom until a couple of years ago. Freedom in some sense was one of the best cures for my psychological suffering.
I just heard about chicken of the woods too...but I'm too chicken to try wild mushrooms without an expert on hand...I'm glad you found your way out and are safely back home...hope you always leave at least a note on your fridge telling where you intended to go and why and the time and date you left...even if you tell people they sometimes forget the details...I also believe that wordless expressions such as crying are prayers that are recieved untainted into the heart of love
@@charlottem6065 hey I'm good too thank you, I don't know why I'm just randomly want to say hey and asking how's you're doing 🙏🏻 ☯️ have a nice day okay
I have gotten lost in several foreign countries, and found my way back to where I was staying eventually.It was always an adventure because I was a teenager and had no fear.I was almost kidnapped but my survival instinct kicked in and I got away.I can really relate to what you're saying.Thank you!
Your doing gods work brother! Thank u so much for these videos. I had a rough childhood and the last couple years have been a battle. These videos have helped immensely!
I'm going to join many here in saying how relevant this video is to my life at this moment. Being lost is painful but it means that I'm getting closer to finding myself once again. Thank you Daniel for your insightful and genuine videos. I'm always excited to watch them and waiting for the new ones with anticipation. May you be blessed. 💚
Great video - thank you for articulating and sharing your experience🙏 - I enjoy your videos! - Seems there may be no healthy way to go thru life without acknowledging that each of us is lost in one way or another - Acknowledging that fact may be the only way for us to “BE found” - to reside in a paradoxical truth of beingness - that we are simultaneously always leaving an old home, searching for a new home, and at home in the here and right now. It’s like living and dying or being lost and found are one in the same.
You are a wonderful storyteller and there is a lot to learn from your stories. I like what you said about the wild animals being curious about your behaviour.
Thank you, I’ve found your videos so comforting. I can relate to a lot of what you talk about. I have let opportunites slide not knowing if they were the right ones, or out of fear for the changes they would bring. And then I find myself lost again.
Amazing thoughts again, Daniel! Thank you! I would like to hear your thoughts on the fact that we can die any moment. Those thing like 'why wait, carpe diem, don't need to plan long run, catch whatever you can in life'...
At 3:06 our ally, nature as embodied in the Blue Jay and that you described a mere second or two before, makes an appearance as if to remind us all. Truly, humanity's wellness is deeply dependent on the wellness of the natural environment. When will we all learn this fundamental truth and live symbiotically?
living in humility/being vulnerable...when Jesus said "I am the WAY, the TRUTH and THE LIFE", "No one can come to the Father(real living) except through ME". The only way to God(life) is through an open stance of gentleness and humility and vulnerablility(Jesus is the ultimate example of this---the Way). It is the hardest thing for most humans to do!! ..to let go and trust, be vulnerable...be OK with being LOST and afraid(does not mean you are going to evaporate or find out you really are worthless. You are loved if you choose to believe it). And yet it is so simple that it eludes us many times thru life. Especially the extra-sensitive, we who were traumatized emotionally and cut off from our ability to be intimate...with ourselves or others, especially GOD...authority figures that hurt us caused this. Keep believing and opening yourself to THE WAY that God has offered all Mankind through Jesus example. Opening up and being vulnerable does not mean to ppl who do not deserve it, havent earned it by showing you they are worthy of trust...we must learn, honor and build boundaries with people, but not with ourselves and God...let's open those pathways that got shut wrongly by the 'death words' spoken to us as children and yes the physical and sexual things done to us that TRIED to steal our most precious gift..INTIMACY. The River of life inside, our Heart, our Well. Gods' love brings dead ppl to life, to our right mind(where we hear truth). Jesus didn't come to make bad ppl good...He came to make dead ppl ALIVE! Crying and grieving..I'm beginning to learn is OK and a part of being alive, just like laughing and feeling anger and brushing my teeth and feeling lost sometimes. Love you Daniel ! Keep making safe space for us to honor truth and discover our best selves. If we are protesting and angry and making other ppl mad and watching negative news and getting mad....that is not the way to life and finding your loving self...more of the same, distraction to keep us separated from intimacy.
Your story about getting lost in the Adirondacks sounds exactly like the beginning of Rip VanWinkle.I'm surprised you didn't encounter the fairies.Or maybe you did........?
Dude...you'd make a great friend.

I've been lost and I've found your channel. Very grateful for that ;)
Wow, I'm sorry Daniel. m"You have no friends! Your best friend is a dog!" What an incredibly cruel thing to say to your child. That really hit home...
It's a strange put-down, as a dog is just about everybody's best friend!
My parents used to humiliate me like that too. Now I know how to fight back "At least my dog and I love each other, what do you have? A kid you don't love and don't love you either"
My best friend was a dog. I miss him more than anything else in the world. He always appreciated me. When I am completely alone, I reminisce over how much joy it gave me to bring and witness the joy in him and sob over how it's all done and gone.

I'm very lost right now. I lost my job but your video made me realize it happened before. I made it thru. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Daniel, you keep talking and I’ll keep listening. Thank you
Nature bless you Daniel Mackler. Soothed by this video.
Couldn’t be more relevant to what I’m going through right now. Thank you so much!
I find value in your videos. Thanks for taking the time, and expending the effort, to make and post them. Watching your videos is affirming and calming. They are like a little oasis when I'm wandering around not knowing where I'm going or what my purpose is. :)
Likewise - an oasis 😊
I got lost in this 'corona' situation... And Found Myself. 💚
It's all great when you're not stuck in it since your teens, and now going 10+ years feeling even more lost and struggling to keep yourself alive, even when you have others to provide for you materially (basics) and take care of adult stuff.
I'm in your same exact situation. You are not alone.

Thank you, Daniel. Another soothing, helpful video! I am starting to go to therapy next week. I wish my therapist would be like you.

Your videos are very valuable to many different people, as you probably know already. Enjoyed this.
It took me more than 2 years to find the lost me for 20 years. Thanks, Daniel
Profound as always 🙏🏼 ❤️
Hey how are you ?🙏🏻
Good thanks, how are you?

Thank God you listened to your instinct! I have a daughter, and hope she does too.
Your doing gods work brother! Thank u so much for these videos. I had a rough childhood and the last couple years have been a battle. These videos have helped immensely!
I've found this video very fitting to this time of year, just mere days before Yom Kipor... Thank you for this soothing video

go daniel! Thanks for this. I really needed it today.
Wonderful Daniel thank you so much!
You are a wonderful storyteller and there is a lot to learn from your stories. I like what you said about the wild animals being curious about your behaviour.
"Nailed it"!
Good to hear from you, looks great out in the woods. We live in the woods, one on this side of “the veil”.
We appreciate you Daniel! Thank you for your videos.
Love Nature💚 Pushed to the edge a few times....

You should read Schopenhauer and what he says about crying
Great attitude to life 👌🙌💚

"The Headless Hiker."
We can get lost not knowing the Lord it takes God help you find your way back in childhood and your mind
Lets hope its not a psilocin mushroom, jokes aside, Kudos to all the pure hearts.
We can get lost how we grow up in life look at this way how we give our life to the Lord somewhere we get lost and confused
Story Time :)
