About this listen

In the Season 2 premiere of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, host Olga Costa guides listeners through the tender, often invisible layers of grief hidden beneath emotional numbness. With poetic insight, somatic wisdom, and trauma-informed reflection, this episode explores why dissociation isn’t failure—but a sacred form of survival.

You’ll hear personal stories, listener vignettes, and grounded science that explain how grief becomes stored in the nervous system—and how it can begin to thaw when safety returns. Using metaphors like “the vault beneath your ribs,” Olga gently walks with you into the quiet places where sorrow has lived unseen.

Learn how to journal to your numbness, create grief rituals, and recognize your body’s quiet cry for compassion. Whether you’re frozen, feeling too much, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to witness your emotional truth with gentleness and strength.

💔 You are not broken. You are thawing.

🕯️ Every Friday at 3:00 PM.
