When Feeling Nothing Is Still Feeling Something

from Permission To Breathe · host Dr. Tammy Isaac

Some people experience grief through overwhelming emotion. Others experience it through silence. Emotional numbness is a common and often misunderstood grief response, leaving many people questioning themselves when they do not feel what they expect to feel.In this episode, we explore emotional numbness as a natural response to loss. We talk about why numbness happens, how the body uses it as protection, and why the absence of feeling is not a sign of failure or lack of love. This conversation offers clarity for those who feel disconnected, flat, or emotionally muted after loss and reassurance that grief does not follow a single emotional path.If you have ever wondered why you feel nothing after something significant has happened, this episode invites you to listen without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
