The Shut The F Up Method: Healing For People Who Are Done Explaining Themselves
by Jorge Perez

There comes a moment in adulthood — and especially in IVF and fertility treatment — when talking stops helping and starts hurting. You’ve told the story. You’ve done the therapy. You’ve tried to be “open” and “strong” at the same time. This week, we sit with a different kind of medicine: what if your nervous system doesn’t need more processing, it needs less performing?
- Why constantly “opening up” can leave you more exhausted, not more healed.
- The moment you realise you’re not just burned out – you’re over-exposed.
- How silence can protect your nervous system without cutting you off from the people you love.
- A gentle way to grieve the child you haven’t had yet, without performing your pain for everyone around you.

We don’t do spiritual bypassing. We do honest nervous systems. The data is clear: chronic stress, over-sharing, and constant re-activation of painful memories keep your body in “danger mode.” The Shut The F Up Method is not about disappearing — it’s about giving your brain, heart, and hormones a chance to breathe. You are allowed to share less and heal more.
