Living in wrong skin means feeling perpetual disconnection from your physical self, experiencing embodiment as performance rather than presence, feeling like you are controlling a body that is not quite yours. You might dissociate from physical sensation, ignore bodily needs, or feel like your body belongs to someone else.
Living this way means missing the integration of self and body, feeling separate from your own physical existence.
Reclaiming your skin means reoccupying your body, listening to its signals, treating it as yours rather than borrowed.
