Emotional numbness is a protective freeze response to stress or trauma, not a personality trait. Understanding this aids healing, improves relationships, and benefits from trauma-informed and Gestalt therapy.

Emotional numbness is a nervous system defense, not a personality flaw. Therapy, including Gestalt and nervous system regulation, aids healing, especially for trauma, attachment wounds, and expats.

Chronic body tension stems from the nervous system holding past stress, causing hypervigilance even in stable life. Therapy, especially trauma-informed and expat-focused, aids relief and emotional healing.
