to reduce emotional numbness.
Numbness is protection your body learned when feeling did not feel safe.
To change it, you practice self compassion.
You notice what you feel instead of shutting it down.
You sit with feelings without judging or fixing them.
You learn skills like breathing, naming emotions, setting boundaries, and asking for support.
Emotional numbness once helped you survive.
Self compassion is how you slowly teach your body that it is safe to feel again and talk about disappointment and overwhelm.
