(When Fatherhood Feels Like Numbness Instead of Joy)
He’s doing everything right.
He shows up. He provides. He’s present.
But something inside feels… off.
He’s quiet lately.
He doesn’t reach for his partner like he used to.
Sex feels like another chore.
And when he’s finally alone, all he wants is to not feel anything at all.
No, You’re Not Broken. You’re In Somatic Overload.
Fatherhood isn’t just a shift in schedule — it’s a shift in nervous system regulation.
From the moment a child enters your life, your internal state becomes focused on survival, protection, performance.
But men are rarely given tools to process this transition through the body.
Instead, they’re told to “man up,” “be strong,” or just “be grateful.”
That pressure creates shutdown. Not failure.
And the symptoms are common: emotional distance, lack of libido, irritability, and a deep sense of isolation — even in a full house.
At Nuna, We Work With What Words Can’t Reach
Somatic therapy isn’t talk therapy.
It’s body-based healing that helps you feel human again.
We don’t ask you to open up before you’re ready.
We support your nervous system in coming out of defense mode — gently, without force — through practices that reawaken sensation, trust, and connection.
Here’s how:
- Somatic Massage & Bodywork to unwind tension and soften control
- Somatic De-Armoring to release protective holding patterns in the body
- Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to restore closeness and vulnerability
- Holistic Somatic Healing that meets men exactly where they are — no fixing, just support
“I Didn’t Know I Was Numb Until I Could Feel Again”
Carlos, a father of two and business owner, came to us thinking he was just “tired.”
But under the surface was a nervous system locked in overdrive — too many years of survival, too few moments of feeling safe to let go.
After three sessions, he shared:
“I didn’t cry. I didn’t talk. But something opened. I felt warmth in my chest again. I held my wife’s hand that night—not because I had to, but because I wanted to.”
