About this listen
For many trauma survivors, touch doesn’t feel like comfort—it feels like alarm. A hug can feel like a trap. Even the gentlest touch can awaken memories of danger.
In this episode of Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast, host Olga Costa explores why touch can feel unsafe after trauma, how grief and memory live in the body, and what it means to slowly reclaim safety in your skin. Through gentle metaphors, psychology, and practical tools, this episode offers a compassionate guide for reconnecting with your body—on your own terms, and at your own pace.
If touch has ever felt complicated for you, this episode is a hand extended softly, saying: Your body is yours. And it can learn safety again.
