About this listen

After years of surviving chaos, peace can feel heavy. In this episode of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, host Olga Costa explores the paradox of calm — why stillness can feel unsafe for trauma survivors, and how the body learns to trust peace again.

Through science, lived experience, and reflection, Olga gently unpacks post-survival dissonance — the restlessness that appears when life becomes quiet. She offers trauma-informed tools to help you redefine calm as safety, not emptiness, and guides you through a mindful reflection to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm.

Whether you’re healing from trauma, burnout, or emotional exhaustion, this episode invites you to embrace peace without fear, one breath at a time.
