Feeling as though your inner light has been dimmed, or that you cannot feel emotions with the same intensity as you have in the past is common for many who have survived trauma.  The vibrant spectrum of feelings and emotions that you have known may feel as though they have been replaced with a monotonous and limited way of connecting with the world around you.  It may feel like you are unable to cultivate the love and joy that once blossomed within you.

While in pain, living organisms have an inherent ability to direct energy where it is most needed to facilitate healing. As the healing process progresses, energy restores its balance.  You have been able to conserve your energy to help you through a painful experience.  Begin your healing journey and reconnect with emotional fullness.

If you are feeling disconnected, emotionally disengaged, emotionless, unable to love, encourage you to seek help.
