I would say it counts as temporary coping.
I lost access to many of my feelings for a decade.
When there was enough influence to have me regain access to them - the initial result was terrible chaos mentally and then later emotionally too (all this was a longer term process).
So having them disconnected/dormant for a decade resulted in big mess yah.
And I'm sure them "breaking through" like this had to happen sooner or later.
In that decade I did achieve many things though. I wouldn't have been able to if I hadn't had those emotions buried. I had no access to help back then (long story).
So... take this for whatever it's worth.
