In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood dynamics in therapy: masking.We start with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model and how somatic work helps clients notice real shifts in their nervous system. Then we get into what therapists often miss — clients who look “fine” in session but are shutting down outside the room.

We cover:

  • Why clients mask in therapy (often without realizing it)
  • How therapists can misread progress
  • Dorsal vagal shutdown and what it actually looks like
  • When a memory is too big for the client’s current capacity
  • Why some people stay emotionally stuck for decades
  • How blame can block real healing
  • The link between underdeveloped identity and addiction risk
  • Short-form content, attention and ADHD brains
  • The pressure to appear regulated in everyday life

If you’re a therapist, helper or someone trying to understand why change can feel harder than it “should,” this episode will give you a much deeper lens.
