Sounds like the 'robot-mode' which can happen if we are overloaded. The brain's way of coping, shutting down the emotions until we can cope with it. It's probably a mechanism that was needed a long time ago, possibly when abuse was happening, no emotions could be shown then! In a way I am thankful for the brain's ability to do this but it can be disconcerting. People who suffer with depression can get this a lot especially if faced with too many emotional challenges at once but do not worry as the feelings will return. Would be good to speak with your T about this though.

Hugs
