Why Do I Feel Emotionally Detached?

Many women suffering from betrayal not only emotionally detach from their partners, but they also detach from themselves. In preparation for next week’s episode with Mental Health Therapist, KayLee Dunn, Amie and Alana wanted to give you some ideas to think about, sit with, and journal on around the topic of emotional detachment. Listen to learn how you may be using emotional detachment as a coping mechanism while working through the devastating effects of betrayal.

• How disassociating helps you self-protect
• How disassociating connects to your childhood
• Why you don’t want to numb any of your emotions
• What fight, flight, or freeze has to do with disassociating
