Don’t numb sit in it. It’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I am a pro stuffer. Been doing it my whole life. The boxes will come open sometimes when you don’t want them too. I am now after a year or so if intensive therapy (2 emdr session has to stop because of a back injury) I am now able to hold several emotions at once and honor them. If your not in therapy find a trauma informed therapist. If you can’t afford it. Better help has financial aid to help you get into therapy.

I found that the numbness was a defense mechanism, and just like with a physical wound, it takes time to heal. When you're ready to process and move on, things will be different. That was my experience anyway. ❤️
@far.Skies this exactly this.
I'm still learning. Sometimes in the winter ill go to the pool and jump in. The shock of cold does something to my nervous system that energies and regulates it.
