Hi
I truly hear the pain in your words, and I want you to know that what you’re experiencing is a very real and valid emotional response to trauma, heartbreak, and emotional burnout. When someone we care about leaves us—especially after a toxic relationship full of blame—it can leave us in a state of emotional shock, where the body feels the pain deeply (like heaviness in the chest), but the mind goes numb or detached as a coping mechanism. This is your mind’s way of trying to protect you from being overwhelmed, but it also makes it harder to grieve and move on. That “numbness” and lack of emotional release can feel like being stuck in limbo.
The path forward begins gently—with self-compassion and guided support. You don’t need to force yourself to cry or “move on” quickly. Instead, therapy can help you slowly process this emotional trauma, regulate the heaviness in your chest, and rewire your nervous system from survival mode to healing. Through methods like grief counseling, body-based grounding, and emotional reconnection, we’ll work on helping you feel again—safely and with control. You’re not broken. You’re hurting. And it’s okay to ask for help to feel like yourself again.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
