@cognitive.ly: He struggles with identifying and feeling emotions because it was unsafe at some points. Going through the emotions wheel with our therapist, he paused at happiness, not knowing what it’s like to experience. He assumes it’s similar to finding something funny or enjoying the presence of our boyfriend (the only person he really trusts). It’s weird to think about this being a part of me, my own brain, yet “I” feel emotions. #dissociativeidentitydisorder #dissociation #numb #trauma
Having someone similar experience but with the emotion anger, they told our therapist “all I know is rage. I am it.” And our therapist responded with “you are what you have seen” he’s healing now

It’s so heartbreaking to think about 😭 because like— sometimes we invalidate by saying “it’s just those few part’s experiencing it” but that’s their 24/7 reality like singles would experience otherwi

I feel this so hard, some of my alters are so numb, but crave the emotions to be there. They call themselves the Observers cuz they usually only cofront and watch what I’m doing.

I relate to this a lot. I don't feel any emotions and struggle to express them, but I want to be loved. My lack of emotion is purely due to my trauma, and being loved would heal me a lot. -733
