Unloading all my unexpressed feelings sounds likes a solid solution. I think the difficult part is associating feelings with the past instead of disassociating. That is a pretty big task which I have no idea how or where to start.
Maybe it would help to understand how you got this way? What the messages were, direct and indirect, which told you to stuff instead of express???????

When you start to dissociate maybe later try to understand what happened, what feelings were you flooded with, and then try to understand from there?????

I got better by taking one issue at a time and working on it.
