I can't even put into words how valuable this video is 🥺

[George-Aguilar]

Negative Emotions aren’t just meant to live with or ignore. We need to face them, reprogram them and work through them to become healthier

[marjanpourhassan]

I feel this also. I’m an FA. The more I heal my AP side the stronger my DA side gets. Can you please do a video about this subject? 🌹❤️

I'm a DA, i had a panic attack yesterday. Really I wanted to be angry because my day wasn't going as planned but instead my brain wanted me to feel numb. I'm so thankful for my husband he let me just talk and try to explain what it felt like to go numb but wanting to feel angry. I eventually got a tear or two to come out which was helpful and the anxiety subsided

[deniszen]

Thanks for the video. I still recover from a C-PTSD from childhood and yeah numbing my emotions all my life...

[steviev]

One thing as an FA i need to improve on is communicating my needs to my friends/partner/crush. My question is - HOW?? It may seem stupid, but i honestly have no idea how to do it without sounding needy, clingy or desperate. Or even just overly sensitive. As a guy, i really find it hard. Especially with a DA. Ugh! I can't...

[FashionAddict]

When I’m angry it feels like my heart is being squeezed

[nainafavs]

Hi Thais, I think for myself, I don't want to feel certain feelings because they evoke certain very painful memories and that makes me feel shameful and judgemental towards myself.. Like I would start asking myself why didn't I do anything, why didn't I stop that person who was abusing me.. etc. And after that I feel angry with my parents and family as to why didn't they protect me, understood me, listened to me.. So much pain there.
Can you please please make a video about how to make peace with such painful memories and events in life and properly accept yourself.. Please 🙏❤️

This is incredibly important and I’m so grateful for you and this video! 🧡 Would you ever consider doing a video on how each attachment style handles grief and/or bereavement? I am an FA with a tendency to suppress my emotions consistently. Recently I found out someone near and dear to me is dying and I’m having trouble navigating how much to feel and when and how to express those emotions and any insight would be so deeply appreciated! Thank you for your time and your dedication! 🧡🧡🧡

Your mic is much better and the scene is easier to focus. Great content on emotions. Thanks Thais!

Actually disorganized attachment is the root cause of dissociative disorders. I suffer from Disorder, and I have been numb for a long time (I am I can think about the most painful traumatic events, and I won't feel any of the pain, since I've become so detached from the pain (the purpose of dissociation). I just hardly feel any sensations during most situations. I do believe the dismissive avoidant side is part of the dissociation, but people with chronic depersonalization tend to have a mix between Anxious and Disorganized attachment, actually. Avoidants tend to be numb in a way, where they can fill the void themselves, at least to some capacity, while disorganized individuals tend to become completely hollow inside with complete anhedonia. Most numb individuals I know were abused in childhood and developed disorganized attachment, which lead to years of chronic emotional numbness.

By this I mean that avoidants are good at avoiding it actively, while with disorganized individuals the pain seems to go more dormant in the system, when it has been ignored and pushed down for too long.

FA's are very emotionally intense, but the most emotionally intense people also have the biggest capacity to go completely numb, and at some point you will be nothing but a robot going through the motions, if you as an emotionally intense person repress it all for long enough.

Looking forward to the FA video. Hope it will be up soon. I get so frustrated not being able to pinpoint how I’m feeling and I really need to know how to come back from it. Hope it’s up soon. Thanks!

[NicoleLam]

I was AA leaning and i see numbing habits as well! This was helpful thank you :)

[andrear]

I needed this video so much. My biggest issue all my life.

[jenniferleigh]

I’m in a situation that feels familiar and I feel I have numbed my emotions and feelings to avoid being hurt and to protect my heart. I’m projecting they last experiences outcome to what this is and assume it’ll end in hurt again. It’s not fair and not healthy. I want to be ok to feel and be open to anything because I want to learn, grow and open my heart to love. Often if something feels familiar I avoid it

[light]

Thank you for the highly informative and helpful videos, Thais! I'd very much like to see the video about the FA's as soon as possible!

[StreetProphet]

This helped me understand what’s going on inside me. Thank you f for putting it into words.

[amberhynes]

How do i stop feeling so numb? Its been over a year straight in my relationship and i wanr to feel sruff for him.

[PhillDrakeEntertainment]

I have problem with numbness for like 7 years or so don't want it to my worst enemies. I'm an apathetic person most of the time cause of the life experiences I had I lost the trust in people.

[daniellelehn]

Thank you so much!!! I will definitely try and give these techniques a try
