About this listen

In Episode 9 of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, we explore the silent and heavy burden of shame—how it forms, why it persists, and how it becomes a protective "armor" for survivors of Complex PTSD and emotional trauma. Host Olga Costa gently unpacks the neuroscience of shame, shares poetic metaphors and real-life listener stories, and guides you through a reflective SWOT moment to reclaim your truth.

This episode offers grounding tools like embodied practices, shame-release rituals, and the power of safe human mirrors. Whether you’ve ever felt like a burden, frozen in self-doubt, or quietly apologized for existing—this one’s for you.

You were never too much. You were simply unprotected. Let’s begin the soft work of setting the armor down.
