Yes!
I was numb for long years. It's so painful thawing out to get in touch with the emotions and very exhausting, emotionally. I don't believe it can just be simply cried out tbh
It just takes very long to process and then the crying is more effective too but really what it takes is reorganising your memories and integrating them into your sense of reality. Accepting how these bad things can/have happened. Something like that. That is very hard, I think. Especially because trauma affects us in our "weakest" parts. Which makes it just that much harder to process but it is possible. And yes, keep going!
