Numbness after trauma isn't broken. It's protection.

Sophia Numbness After Trauma Protocol

Post-trauma numbness is the nervous system's protective response — it dampens feeling to prevent overwhelm. You don't need to force feelings to return. A gentle, private writing practice — observing what's there without demanding more — can slowly restore capacity. Offline and private.
