About this listen
Have you ever shut down during a conversation — not because of what was said, but because of what it reminded you of? In this tender episode of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, host Olga Costa gently explores emotional flashbacks in relationships. These hidden trauma responses don’t come with memories — they come with feelings that flood our bodies, hijacking the present with echoes of the past.
With real-life vignettes, accessible neuroscience, and trauma-informed compassion, Olga helps listeners understand why they sometimes panic in love, withdraw from praise, or misread safety as danger. A reflective SWOT moment invites gentle self-awareness, and practical tools offer grounding and co-regulation.
This episode is for anyone navigating love while living with Complex PTSD, emotional numbness, or dissociation — and anyone trying to build bridges between their past and their present.
🌿 “You are not too much. You are someone who has lived through too much — and who is still worthy of safe love.”
