A gentle place for those living with Complex PTSD, emotional numbness, or dissociation — and for the people who love them. Through poetic storytelling, neuroscience explained in human terms, and lived experience, Olga Costa invites listeners into conversations about the unseen weight of trauma. Each episode blends metaphors, reflective moments, and practical tools for self-regulation, grounding, and healing. From understanding emotional flashbacks in relationships to unpacking the quiet exhaustion of survival mode, this is a space where grief, joy, numbness, and hope can exist together. Numbness Paralysis doesn’t rush you. It sits beside you. It names the things that were never named, and it offers pathways back to safety — in your own time, in your own way. Because healing isn’t about becoming who you were before. It’s about learning to live, softly, with who you are now. New episodes every Friday at 3:00 PM.
