Why You Feel Numb Instead of Stressed

August 01, 2025

In partnership with

One of the questions that pops up every now and then from my audience is
what does it mean when I do not feel anything anymore

No panic
No frustration
No motivation either
Just nothing

And every time I hear that
I think yes
I have been there too
And so have many others

You are not overwhelmed
You are not okay either
You are just disconnected
Like someone muted your emotions and walked away with the remote

What does that mean

When your nervous system hits a certain level of overload
it does not go into overdrive
it shuts down

You are not resting
You are not recovering
You are just frozen

Your brain is still scanning in the background
but emotionally you are on pause

Why this matters

If you have ever

felt emotionally flat in the middle of chaos
gone through your day on autopilot
stopped reacting to things that used to matter to you

That is not weakness
It is your system trying to protect you

And the longer you stay in that state
the harder it gets to feel anything at all
good or bad

But the truth is
you are not numb
you are overloaded

What I would love from you

Have you ever felt like your emotions went offline
even though life kept moving

When did it start
How did it show up in your body
And what helped or did not
