The "High-Functioning" Christian: Why You Feel Numb Instead of Joyful
Do you feel numb in church even when you want to feel joy?
If you’re checking all the boxes—serving, working, praying—but feel emotionally hollow, you aren’t "spiritually broken." You might be stuck in Functional Freeze.
In this video, we bridge the gap between clinical psychology and spiritual health to uncover why high-functioning Christians often struggle with emotional numbness. We explore why this isn’t a sin issue, but a nervous system survival response, and how you can move from "survival mode" back to true joy using Somatic Faith.
In this video, we cover:
