What If I Shut Down Because It Was the Only Way to Survive?

Maybe you used to feel everything. Maybe now, you feel nothing. You go through the motions, do the job, say the right things—but feel like a ghost of yourself.

That shutdown? It’s not failure. It’s a survival skill.

Your body said, “this is too much,” and created distance to protect you. That’s intelligence, not dysfunction.

Therapy can help you come back—safely, gently. One piece at a time. You're not too far gone.
