Understanding Emotional Numbness

Many of us often deal with or experience emotional numbness, which might not be the best practice for good mental health. Emotional numbness is a coping mechanism where we don't confront our emotions and try to shut down and neglect the feelings that make us overwhelmed. It can be considered normal when it is short-lived, but it can become a pretty unhealthy thing to do in the long run. Restricting ourselves from feeling and confronting the emotions we feel at the moment can add up to and lead us to not function properly and can hinder our ability to feel genuine and true. To have good mental health is to be emotionally healed, which can happen when we start acknowledging our emotions without shutting them or neglecting them. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/what-is-emotional-numbness/
