iflyaway,

During severe trauma, we shut off our emotions, to save ourselves from the pain. This was a good way of coping at the time.

The fact that you are now talking about it is a good start.

Being able to release all your feelings is going to take time. I hope you have a good therapist to help you through this process.

Hugs to you.
