Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Ever gone numb during conflict? Forgotten entire conversations? Felt disconnected from yourself, your partner, or your life? You may be dissociating — and most people don’t even realize they’re doing it.
In this episode, Kate breaks down what dissociation actually is, why the nervous system uses it for protection, and how it quietly impacts relationships, communication, intimacy, parenting, and conflict. She explains the signs you’re emotionally leaving before your body does, why shame keeps the cycle going, and what healing actually looks like — both for yourself and with the people you love.
If you’ve ever felt “checked out,” emotionally flat, overwhelmed, frozen, or unable to stay present in hard moments, this episode is for you.
