About this listen

In this powerful continuation of When the Body Says No, host Olga Costa explores how trauma survivors often silence their own needs until the body speaks through illness, exhaustion, or collapse. This episode dives deep into the relationship between trauma, boundaries, and the nervous system, offering both reflection and practical tools for reclaiming your embodied “no.”

🌿 In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How the body acts as our first boundary and what happens when it’s ignored
  • The hidden cost of overriding the body’s “no” — from burnout to dissociation
  • Practical steps to relearn boundaries without guilt or fear
  • Somatic grounding practices for safety and healing
  • Real survivor stories of courage, freedom, and reclaiming authenticity

This is an episode for anyone living with PTSD, Complex PTSD (CPTSD), or the silent weight of self-abandonment. It’s an invitation to listen to your body’s wisdom, rebuild trust, and take the first steps toward boundaries that honor your truth.

🎧 Tune in to Numbness Paralysis – The PTSD Podcast every Friday at 3:00 PM for gentle, trauma-informed reflections on healing, grief, shame, trust, and resilience.
