One trauma response is becoming detached from--or even totally lacking-- sensations (physical, mental, emotional), which totally makes sense, and wanting to get rid of "CPTSD symptoms" makes sense, right?

But this one...doesn't make sense to me. I know learning these things take time, but I've tried working on it, and focusing on physical sensations is panic-inducing. I get there's a reason we're supposed to have sensations in a certain way, but if they're altered, is there really any point or gain to attempt to learn to get back there? A lot of "mindfulness skills" they try walking me through just make me feel worse.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, but the whole concept feels like a rock fell down a hill and there's no point in putting it back up (if it didn't make sense, that probably didn't clear it up).
