I can relate. Sometimes we need that emotional barrier there to protect ourselves. In those times, our dissociation is healthy.

Other times, dissociation can be due to a physical illness (so we have tests & medications) ~ treat the illness. Not as easy as it sounds, of course, it is often a difficult time to go through.

Accepting the fact that it's back is the easiest tactic that I've found so far.
