Dear afeels:

Regarding your second post that I just noticed, you are welcome. My  answer to your question: “if  I am disassociated why do  I feel all these negative emotions (anxiety, crying) everyday?”-

because severe disassociation is meant  to be effective temporarily, not long term.  It is not effective long  term. It  is not the emotions themselves are minimized in the process of disassociation. It is our awareness of those emotions that is  minimized, but  the  emotions keep coming  up again and again and reek havoc in our lives, from  physical illness to neurological disorders and  otherwise dysfunctional lives.

Healing  is about gently and gradually becoming aware and being  able to endure the excitation without shutting down soon after every excitation.
