You’re not falling apart.
But you’re not really here, either.
You wake up. You move through the motions.
You check the boxes.
You smile when needed.
You show up for others.
But deep down…
You feel flat. Numb. Detached.
Nothing really moves you.
Not joy. Not grief.
Just… nothing.
It’s not because you’re lazy. Or ungrateful.
It’s because your nervous system is frozen.
Numbness Is a Symptom of Survival
When the body doesn’t feel safe expressing emotion—especially after years of chronic stress or trauma—it shuts down sensation to protect itself.
That shutdown is called dorsal vagal response in nervous system science.
It’s what happens when fight or flight stops working—and your system goes into freeze.
In that place, you might experience:
- Emotional flatness
- Disinterest in intimacy
- Low libido or touch aversion
- Feeling like a “ghost” in your own life
- Going through the motions without meaning
This isn’t just depression.
It’s your body’s last-resort strategy for surviving overwhelm.
And it can change.
At Nuna, We Gently Invite the Body Back Into Feeling
Our sessions meet you right in the freeze—without pushing, fixing, or forcing emotion.
We work with people who say, “I know I should feel something, but I don’t.”
And we walk with them, slowly, as sensation returns.
Our approach includes:
- Somatic Massage to gently awaken sensation without overwhelm
- Somatic De-Armoring to release the protective freeze responses
- Somatic Coaching to help you reclaim your connection to emotion, desire, and joy
- Restorative emotional healing that doesn’t require words or rehashing stories
We help your system remember how to feel—on its own timeline.
Story: “I Didn’t Even Realize How Numb I Was Until I Started to Feel Again”
Ben was a father of two and a senior executive.
He came to Nuna because, in his words, “Life just feels… blank.”
He wasn’t in crisis.
He was functional.
But he felt disconnected from everything—including himself.
After a series of sessions, he said,
“I didn’t even notice I’d gone numb until I started laughing again. Really laughing. And crying. And caring.”
