Transcribe →Ep. 22 The Price of Numbness: When You Don’t Grieve
Oct 2200:41:48Tap to summarizeWe’ve all said it — “I’m fine.”But what’s the real cost of staying “fine” when we’re not? In this episode, Nathan and Selysa explore the physical, emotional, and relational consequences of suppressed grief — the kind we avoid, bury, or rationalize away.Together, they unpack how grief gets stored in the body, why we sometimes can’t feel until it’s safe to, and how numbness becomes both protection and prison. This is a conversation about what happens when we don’t grieve — and how we can begin to feel again, gently and safely.Free Download: How to Receive Support While Grieving
