When Your Feelings Do Not Make Sense

Sometimes your emotions feel too big or too small for the moment.
This does not mean something is wrong with you.

Why Emotions Might Feel Intense

You are carrying more than you realise

  • A small moment activated an old wound

  • You are tired or depleted

  • Your nervous system is seeking safety

Colorful sky with clouds illuminated by the setting or rising sun.

Why Emotions Might Feel Numb or Muted

You are protecting yourself

  • You are emotionally exhausted

  • You have learned to switch off to cope

This is a survival strategy, not a failure.
