Description

If you’ve been stuck in numbness — not sad, not angry, not even happy — just… nothing… this episode is going to hit home.

We’re unpacking why emotional disconnection is so common for trauma survivors, how your nervous system learned to shut down, and what to do when “just feel your feelings” advice makes you want to scream.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The real, biological reason you feel flat or emotionally distant

  • Why feeling nothing isn’t a failure — it’s protection

  • 3 practical, somatic steps to gently reconnect with your emotions

  • What safety actually feels like (and how to find it again)

This isn’t about forcing tears or pushing yourself to process everything at once. It’s about learning to listen to your body — quietly, safely, in the smallest moments.
