Ep. 010 Why We Numb: Finding Your Way Back Home to Heal

In this final episode of Season 1, we explore the hidden ways we numb ourselves to avoid pain and discomfort. From procrastination to emotional detachment, these survival responses may feel protective, but they often keep us from living fully. Together, we’ll uncover the subtle ways we disconnect, why it happens, and how we can gently come back home to ourselves. I’ll share practical tools like body scanning, grounding exercises, and creating intentional space to help you begin feeling and healing in a safe way. Let’s step out of survival mode and into true connection—because real healing starts when we come back to ourselves.
