About this listen
We’re often told to “move on.” To let go, to get over it, to stop looking back. But for survivors of trauma, that phrase can feel like erasure — a demand to abandon the very parts of us that still ache for understanding.
In this reflective episode of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, Olga Costa explores the quiet truth behind healing: that it’s not about erasing the past, but learning to move with it. Through lived experience, science, and embodied compassion, she invites listeners to rediscover integration — the process of turning pain into wisdom, and memory into meaning.
You’ll learn why “moving on” can backfire, how the nervous system stores trauma, and how to practice gentler, trauma-informed rituals of remembrance. With a soft tone and deep emotional intelligence, this episode reminds us that healing is not linear — it’s a spiral that keeps leading us home.
