Why You Don't Care About Anything (The Honest Truth)

Описание: Why You Don't Care About Anything (The Honest Truth)

In this video, we explore the terrifying silence of emotional numbness. We dismantle the myth that feeling "muted" or indifference is a sign of laziness or a broken heart. Instead, we analyze the neuroscience behind "Functional Freeze" and explain why your lack of feeling is actually a sophisticated biological safety mechanism designed to protect you.

You will discover the "Circuit Breaker" analogy, why trying to force yourself to feel happiness or motivation can actually deepen the numbness, and how to embrace your internal "Winter." It’s time to stop fighting the silence and learn how to rest in "Power Saving Mode" so your nervous system can heal.

📖 Research and sources: • Polyvagal Theory: Porges, S. W. (2011). The science identifying the "Dorsal Vagal" shutdown response (Freeze), which occurs when the nervous system determines that fighting or fleeing is impossible or too dangerous, resulting in numbness and dissociation.

• The Window of Tolerance: Siegel, D. J. (1999). A model describing the optimal zone of arousal. When stress becomes "High Voltage" (hyper-arousal), the brain may flip into hypo-arousal (numbness/shutdown) to prevent system overload.

• Somatic Experiencing: Levine, P. A. (2010). Research on how trauma and chronic stress get trapped in the body, leading to immobility states (freeze) where emotions are inaccessible until safety is re-established.
