Emotional numbness
π¬οΈ Numbness often creeps in as a defense mechanism, shielding us from overwhelming emotions. It can stem from trauma, prolonged stress, or a desire to appear 'strong.' However, avoiding emotions doesn't make us stronger; it stifles personal growth.
To break free, start by acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Seek professional support, engage in open conversations, and explore therapeutic practices like mindfulness and meditation. Remember, true strength lies in embracing vulnerability and understanding that every emotion is a vital part of our human experience. πͺπ #BreakingTheNumbness #EmotionalWellnessJourney #ArmanCentre #StrengthInVulnerability"
