Emotional Numbness: When Stress Turns Into Shutdown

We often associate stress with heightened emotions—racing thoughts, irritability, frustration, or even anxiety attacks. But not all stress looks like this. Sometimes, it shows up more quietly.

In many workplaces, rest is quietly framed as something you earn after proving your worth. Breaks are postponed, time off is negotiated with guilt, and stepping away feels like falling behind. But this mindset misses a crucial point: rest isn’t the opposite of productivity—it’s what sustains it. When we treat…
