It sounds like you did a lot of hard work and are now benefiting from it. Is there more work to be done? That depends. Is your emotional outlook allowing you to connect to other people in a way that you'd like? If so, great! If not, well then you have your answer. Or maybe you like the way you are connecting for the moment, but might not in the future.

Everyone dissociates to some degree or another. We can't emotional react to everything all the time. The key is to make it work for you and not against you. If you're happy, hold on to that. Either way, you should be proud of yourself and how far you've come!
