I am shaking up the wellness industry and addressing the things that people usually avoid. With relentless curiosity and refusal to sweep things under the rug, this podcast is for those who crave truth over comfort and honesty over surface level BS.
So, get yourself in the lotus position because I have no plan, no pretence and definitely no bypassing….. I’m Josh Connolly and this will probably be dysfunctional

Most people think they’re broken. Most people think dysregulation is a problem. Most people think the answer is to regulate, reframe, or reset.
But what if all of that is just another distraction?
Another way to bypass what actually needs to be felt?
This episode is a full-bodied dismantling of the healing and wellness world as we know it — with the brilliant Sam Miller, who teaches Mind-Body Recovery through a trauma-informed, Jungian, and deeply embodied lens.
We talk about:
Why your symptoms might actually be your body healing
How emotional repression creates chaos in the system
Why "cognitive reframing" is like shouting to the basement from the attic
The cult of regulation and fake safety in the healing space
Performative masculinity, football fights, and the grief men won't feel
And how real emotional healing often looks more like screaming, shaking, and collapsing into a ball in a sauna than it does cold plunges or coaching frameworks
We also dig into the absolute state of the wellness industry — the bypassing, the ego-led facilitators, and why a lot of what’s branded as “healing” is just a new costume for the same old disconnection.
This one goes deep. It’s raw. It’s real.
It’s Dysfunctional.
