About this listen

In this episode, we're diving deep into the profound experience of numbness. Have you ever wondered why you can't cry, or why you feel detached even in emotional moments? That deep sense of 'nothingness' is often your BodyMind's protective pause, a sophisticated survival mechanism when your nervous system is overwhelmed, even 'going into collapse.'

We'll explore what's truly happening in your brain—from your amygdala going into overdrive to your hippocampus going offline—and uncover how numbness isn't an absence of feeling, but a response to too many undigested emotions, often rooted in past traumatic events. You'll discover the three common ways we react (resistance, resignation, or being with the experience), and why consciously choosing to engage in embodied learning is the fundamental path to break free from 'frozen moments' and repetitive loops.

This episode is an invitation to move beyond just coping, to reclaim your agency, and to slowly reawaken to the lightness and life-giving energy that comes from truly being present. Learn how embracing discomfort and taking courageous action can literally rewire your BodyMind for safety and flow, guiding you on a profound journey from surviving to thriving.
