You’re not lazy. You’re not cold. You’re maxed out—and your nervous system hit pause.
In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we talk about emotional numbness—the foggy, flat, disconnected feeling that shows up when your system is overloaded. You might not be panicking. You might not even be sad. You might just feel... nothing.
This episode unpacks how overwhelm triggers dorsal vagal shutdown, why your brain checks out when emotions pile up, and how to re-engage gently, without pushing yourself to “snap out of it.”
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why numbness is actually a survival response to emotional overload
How the nervous system decides to shut down when it’s overwhelmed
Gentle practices to reconnect with your body and shift out of the fog
