Feeling
Numbness
You can’t cry. You can’t laugh. The thing you’re supposed to feel is gone, and you don’t know when it left. Numbness isn’t absence. It’s protection. The body learned, at some point, that feeling everything at once was too much — and it pulled the plug to keep you alive. The off switch worked. Now you’re trying to find the on switch, and it won’t turn. The articles below show you where to look. Not to force feeling. To make it safe enough that the feeling comes back on its own. When you’re ready, begin a Feeling Session — palms down, eyes covered, breath into the flat place until something underneath it stirs.
