About this listen

Silence is never empty—it is crowded with unsaid words, unspoken grief, and stories the body was too afraid to tell. In this episode of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, Olga Costa gently explores the weight of unspoken trauma, why silence becomes a survival strategy, and how it can also keep us isolated.

Through real-life reflections, trauma-informed metaphors, and neuroscience explained simply, Olga guides listeners into the paradox of silence: how it both protects and imprisons. With a Reflective SWOT moment and practical tools, this episode offers ways to slowly give silence a voice—through whispering, writing, safe presence, and grief work.

Silence is not failure. Silence is protection. But healing begins when we learn to open the sealed box of what has long been unsaid.

Trigger Warning: This episode explores grief, loss, and trauma responses. Listen gently and with care.
