Thanks everyone. Maybe my perceived increased sensitivity is part of the rewarming process after being numb and not allowing myself to feeling anything. I think just writing about it has helped somewhat. When I wrote the first posted I kind of triggered myself a little bit. Now I am writing this response without the knot in my stomach. I think I will be able to raise my tolerance these feelings again. Hopefully this time without shutting out everything else in the process.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. Now I also know that distraction is one of the techniques used to address these issues.
