No, its not normal.. but that just means the dissociating did its job. In order to cope in the situation you were in, you learned to detach yourself from it. That is what I am working on when it comes to my trauma.. Dissociation served me well for a amount of time. Now that I am in a place to be able to process those feelings, the emotions come out more and more. You have to learn to feel those types of things.
