Emotional numbness can feel confusing and hard to name.
Sometimes distress doesn’t show up as tears, panic, or obvious overwhelm.
Sometimes it looks like going through the motions. Feeling disconnected. Not knowing what you’re feeling at all.

If this feels familiar, small, gentle moments of reconnection can help. No pressure to fix anything. Just noticing.
Which of these feels most relatable right now?
