Emotional numbness is something we have all prayed for at some point. You know exactly what I\u2019m talking about: about those moments when you feel as if you\u2019ve reached your breaking point<\/a> and as if you can\u2019t take it anymore.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about the moments when you’d rather feel empty than sad and miserable.<\/strong> I\u2019m talking about the moments when the possibility of shutting your feelings off looks like paradise.<\/p>\n

But, be careful what you wish for \u2013 you might just get it. What happens when you achieve emotional numbness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ebbene, lasciate che vi dica che non \u00e8 affatto come nei vostri sogni. In effetti, non provare alcuna emozione \u00e8 spaventoso al punto da farvi morire dall'interno.<\/p>\n

When you reach this stage, you\u2019ll give anything to have your ability to feel back. Nevertheless, things don\u2019t always go that easily.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like you can snap your fingers and reverse the entire process. Instead, there are some steps you have to take before successfully overcoming emotional numbness.<\/p>\n

But, before that, let\u2019s check out what emotional numbing is and what causes it.<\/p>\n

Significato di intorpidimento emotivo<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

L'intorpidimento emotivo o anedonia non \u00e8 una malattia mentale, ma ha certamente un impatto sulla salute mentale. In parole povere, essere emotivamente insensibili significa non provare letteralmente nulla ed essere immuni a tutti i possibili stimoli.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, you don\u2019t cry anymore, but you don\u2019t laugh either. You are saved from sadness, but you\u2019re deprived of happiness as well.<\/p>\n

\u00c8 uno stato di totale indifferenza. Dall'esterno, si vive una vita del tutto normale, ma dall'interno, non c'\u00e8 altro che questo enorme e infinito vuoto che ti disconnette dal mondo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sintomi di intorpidimento emotivo<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t become emotionally numb all of a sudden. In fact, there are certain red flags that are clear indicators that you\u2019re stepping on the path of becoming emotionally detached.<\/p>\n

Some of the symptoms of emotional numbness are similar to symptoms of depression. They include depersonalization, derealization, dissociation… Look out for these alarms and check if you can relate to most (or all) of them.<\/p>\n

Allontanarsi dai propri cari<\/h3>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

The first and the most common symptom you\u2019ll feel if you suspect yourself of being emotionally numb is detachment from your loved ones.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about the people who have done you harm here (yes, you can still love the ones who hurt you \u2013 in fact, it happens more frequently than you might imagine).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about your closest friends and family members. All of a sudden, you feel like you\u2019re not so connected to your best friend or a sibling.<\/p>\n

The worst part is that there is absolutely no reason for this to happen. They haven\u2019t done anything to you, you two didn\u2019t argue, and you\u2019re still physically present in each other\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Ma, in qualche modo, si ha la sensazione che il legame che vi teneva uniti sia scomparso. It\u2019s like someone cut the cord that connected you with everyone, and you are left like a balloon floating around the clouds \u2013 all alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cercate di cambiare questa situazione. Cerchi di forzare letteralmente te stesso ad amare queste persone nel modo in cui usavi<\/strong>d a.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it appears that all of your attempts are in vain. You\u2019re growing more and more distant from everyone around and it looks like there is nothing to be done about it.<\/p>\n

Solitudine e isolamento<\/h4>\n

Anche se un tempo eravate un vero estroverso, ultimamente le cose sono cambiate. Non c'\u00e8 pi\u00f9 traccia della farfalla sociale che eravate un tempo.<\/p>\n

Invece di passare il tempo con gli amici, la famiglia e i colleghi, ultimamente, preferite la solitudine a tutto il resto<\/a>. You’re off of all social media, you avoid any type of gathering, and you spend all of your time by yourself.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong: there comes a period in our lives when we all want and need some time off. You want to ricaricare le batterie<\/a> e che avrebbe bisogno di un po' di privacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, when it comes to you, this period has been lasting for a while now. In fact, it seems that it has surpassed a phase \u2013 it has become your lifestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You voluntarily socially isolated yourself and you avoid all possible human contact \u2013 except the one you\u2019re forced to maintain.<\/p>\n

 Love and hate don\u2019t stand a chance against indifference<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Si pensa che l'amore e l'odio siano le emozioni pi\u00f9 forti in assoluto. Anche se questi due sentimenti sono due facce della stessa medaglia, c'\u00e8 qualcosa che li supera.<\/p>\n

C'\u00e8 qualcosa di pi\u00f9 forte di qualsiasi emozione: l'assenza di emozioni.<\/p>\n

If you come to think of it, this is exactly what you\u2019ve been feeling lately: nothing. Isn\u2019t it ironic? The fact that you feel nothing overwhelms you.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re in emotional pain, you\u2019d give everything to achieve indifference. You think of it as the best way to go through life.<\/p>\n

After all, almost nothing and nobody can touch you. You\u2019re unbothered by people\u2019s efforts to break your heart simply because you don\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t seem to get angry, and you have forgotten what it means to hate. You don\u2019t cry and you don\u2019t go through stages of grief or sadness.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t miss people, you don\u2019t hold grudges against them, and you\u2019re convinced that you could live all alone in this world since no one\u2019s loss would shake your entire world.<\/p>\n

Sembra quasi troppo bello per essere vero.<\/p>\n

But, let\u2019s not forget about one thing. When you become indifferent, you not only lose the bad and unwanted emotions.<\/p>\n

You not only lose the ability to hate \u2013 you also become incapable of loving. Sadness is not the only thing that goes away \u2013 positive emotions, including happiness, also follow it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is exactly what has been going on with you. You\u2019ve diventare emotivamente non disponibile<\/a> e insensibile.<\/p>\n

Perdita di interesse per le cose che un tempo vi rendevano felici<\/h4>\n

All of the sudden, you\u2019re not looking for a new day. All the little things that used to bring you joy have become totally irrelevant.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve lost interest in activities that used to make you happy. You\u2019ve stopped looking forward to the weekend, you no longer anticipate your vacation, your hobbies have become dull, and no accomplishment can fulfill you anymore.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re empty and all you feel is this abyss inside of you. All of a sudden, this numbness isn\u2019t so great, is it?<\/p>\n

It is when you lose control that you repress your emotions \u2013 not when you\u2019re in control<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

La maggior parte delle persone pensa che chi sta lottando contro l'intorpidimento emotivo abbia perso la capacit\u00e0 di sentire. Tutte le loro emozioni sono state cancellate e si sono spente, ma la verit\u00e0 \u00e8 ben diversa.<\/p>\n

You see, each one of your sensations is still there \u2013 you\u2019ve just buried them deep inside<\/a> of you. I\u2019m not saying you did it on purpose or even consciously, but either way, it happened.<\/p>\n

Ora tutto si sta accumulando dentro di voi. Questi enormi cumuli di felicit\u00e0, tristezza, amore, odio, rabbia, risentimento, gioia e compassione si sono mescolati.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not disappearing with time. Instead, the piles are getting bigger and bigger, and the more you try to push them down, the more they grow.<\/p>\n

Infine, si diventa incapaci di raggiungerli. You\u2019ve spent so much time training yourself not to feel anything that your emotions have hidden from you, so now you can\u2019t get to them \u2013 even if you want to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems that you can\u2019t make yourself feel anything. You\u2019ve repressed your emotions to the point where you have forgotten how to use them properly.<\/p>\n

Not just that: you\u2019re also scared of even taking a peek at them. You\u2019re terrified of what you might find there, and more importantly, you wonder if you\u2019ll be able to handle it.<\/p>\n

Ci\u00f2 di cui bisogna essere consapevoli \u00e8 che reprimere le emozioni<\/a> is a red flag that you\u2019ve lost control over yourself, even though you think otherwise.<\/p>\n

You think that ignoring your feelings is an act of emotional and mental strength. You think that by doing this, you\u2019ve finally learned how to govern yourself while you\u2019re doing completely the opposite.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re making the most cowardly move ever \u2013 you\u2019re running away from parts of you in hopes of erasing them. You consider yourself too weak to be in actual control and to look your demons in the eye.<\/p>\n

Testimoniare la propria vita e non parteciparvi<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Emotionally numb people don\u2019t live their life \u2013 they merely witness it. You\u2019re not the leading role of your own movie \u2013 you\u2019re nothing more than an extra, or even worse: a part of the audience.<\/p>\n

This is known as depersonalization or derealization. You’re nothing but an alien in your life and you’re detached from the world around you.<\/p>\n

If you dig a little deeper in yourself, you\u2019ll see that this is exactly how you can describe your every day. It\u2019s like life is passing by you and you\u2019re not doing anything to participate in it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like you\u2019ve exited your body a long time ago and you\u2019re just observing everything that\u2019s going on to someone else \u2013 even though that someone else used to be you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a weird feeling, I know. You\u2019re merely surviving, waiting for your end to come.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t intend to leave a mark on this world. You\u2019re not putting effort into spending every day as if it was your last or enjoying every breath you take.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not doing anything at all to make the best of your time on Earth. It\u2019s like you don\u2019t see that you were put in this world for a reason. It is like you don\u2019t notice that your life was a gift that you\u2019re putting to waste.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not living \u2013 you\u2019re merely existing. You\u2019re completely passive: instead of taking action, you allow things to happen to you.<\/p>\n

Cosa provoca l'intorpidimento emotivo?<\/h2>\n

Le cause dell'intorpidimento emotivo sono diverse. Le cause mediche pi\u00f9 comuni sono il disturbo bipolare, l'assunzione di antidepressivi o l'abuso di sostanze. Tutti questi fattori possono rendere il soggetto emotivamente inerte e apatico.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, it’s possible that hurtful events from your past made you emotionally numb. Insensitivity and disconnection from your own feelings is nothing but a coping mechanism and this is what causes it.<\/p>\n

Siete stati feriti al punto da non provare pi\u00f9 nulla.<\/h3>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

As strong as you once were, you\u2019ve always been a human being. This means that your heart was fragile, and that you had your weaknesses and vulnerable sides.<\/p>\n

The point is that you\u2019ve reached your maximum. You\u2019ve reached a point where you simply can\u2019t stand being hurt anymore.<\/p>\n

Il tuo il cuore \u00e8 stato spezzato cos\u00ec tante volte<\/a> che non c'era altra scelta se non quella di reincollare il tutto in un modo o nell'altro.<\/p>\n

Le persone continuavano a farle del male in un modo o nell'altro. Quindi, l'unico modo per porre fine a tutto questo era chiudersi emotivamente per sempre.<\/p>\n

In realt\u00e0, avevate due possibilit\u00e0. Potreste continuare a subire colpi e impazzire letteralmente, perch\u00e9 nessun essere umano pu\u00f2 sopportare una tale quantit\u00e0 di dolore emotivo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oppure, si pu\u00f2 costruire intorno a s\u00e9 muri alti e spessi<\/a><\/strong>. All'epoca, la seconda opzione sembrava una cintura di salvataggio.<\/p>\n

Stavate annegando nella vostra sofferenza mentale e dovevate salvarvi.<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t do it consciously. It\u2019s not as if you woke up one day and made the decision of becoming emotionally numb.<\/p>\n

It just happened. It was your mind\u2019s reaction to everything you have experienced.<\/p>\n

Il disturbo post-traumatico da stress come condanna a vita<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you are convinced that everything you went through in the past is long forgotten. When it happened, you found a way to cope with your pain. Maybe it wasn\u2019t the healthiest path, but it was the only thing you could do.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if it was something that happened back in your childhood. Maybe you had a toxic relationship that left unerasable consequences on you. Either way, the Il dolore che hai vissuto ti ha cambiato.<\/a><\/p>\n

Avete vissuto un'esperienza traumatica. Oppure ne avete solo assistito, ma ne siete stati pesantemente influenzati.<\/p>\n

The point is that you have been living day after day pretending that nothing ever happened. You decided to ignore this event or this part of your life because you don\u2019t have the courage to face it properly.<\/p>\n

Bene, Lasciate che vi dica che il modo in cui vi sentite ora non \u00e8 altro che una reazione all'evento traumatico<\/a>. You might think you forgot all about it, but trust me \u2013 your emotional wounds never disappeared \u2013 they just turned into scars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scegliendo l'insensibilit\u00e0, ci si condanna alla vita. Invece di gestire il trauma e lasciarselo davvero alle spalle, lo si porta con s\u00e9.<\/p>\n

In questo modo, diventa il vostro fardello pi\u00f9 pesante che pesa sempre di pi\u00f9 ogni giorno che passa.<\/p>\n

Non una vittima, ma una sopravvissuta<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

It is a proven fact that it\u2019s not rare for victims of abuse to, in a way, die spiritually. I\u2019m not talking about physical violence here: emotional, mental, and verbal abuse can get you down this road as well.<\/p>\n

Perch\u00e9 succede? Quando si subisce un qualsiasi tipo di violenza, si \u00e8 costretti a sviluppare diversi meccanismi di difesa per affrontare la situazione.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t stand the humiliation, self-pity, disprezzo di s\u00e9<\/a>, and pain anymore. You\u2019re surrounded by darkness and you see no way out.<\/p>\n

Quindi, l'unica scelta che avete \u00e8 quella di spegnervi. Imparate a spegnere tutte le vostre emozioni e smettete semplicemente di reagire a tutto ci\u00f2 che accade intorno a voi.<\/p>\n

The only way to save yourself from this hell you\u2019re going through is to retreat into your own mind. You create a world of your own and you stop paying attention to your reality and surroundings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you achieve this, you become emotionally numb. You don\u2019t have the strength to handle all of this emotional ache, so you learn to ignore it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, once again, you can\u2019t choose which feelings you\u2019ll embrace and which ones you will set aside. Therefore, you become emotionally detached from yourself.<\/p>\n

Tuttavia, ci\u00f2 continua ad accadere anche quando si interrompe il ciclo dell'abuso. Si continua a vivere come una vittima e si adottano questi modelli comportamentali come qualcosa di assolutamente normale.<\/p>\n

In realt\u00e0, utilizzate questo meccanismo di difesa ogni volta che vi trovate in una situazione potenzialmente dannosa. In pratica, si vive nella negazione e si continua a vedere se stessi come a victim, even though you\u2019re much more than that.<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, let me tell you that you\u2019re actually a survivor of abuse. Once you start seeing yourself in that way, you\u2019ll iniziare a ripulire la vostra energia dai traumi.<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see that you also have what it takes to face all of your feelings as unpleasant and unwanted as they might be.<\/p>\n

Una volta che iniziate a vedervi cos\u00ec, il vostro crescita post-traumatica<\/a> inizier\u00e0 finalmente.<\/p>\n

Passi per superare con successo l'intorpidimento emotivo<\/h2>\n

When you finally decide that it\u2019s time to do something about your condition, that\u2019s the first step towards recovery. Nevertheless, it\u2019s crucial to note that you\u2019ve been emotionally numb for some time now.<\/p>\n

Therefore, you can\u2019t expect to go back to your old ways overnight, can you? Instead, this is a healing process that goes step by step.<\/p>\n

Non ha senso curare le conseguenze prima di aver trovato la causa.<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Ecco che arriva la parte pi\u00f9 spaventosa. \u00c8 la fase che molti vorrebbero evitare, ma che allo stesso tempo \u00e8 fondamentale per il recupero.<\/p>\n

Quando si cerca di guarire nel modo pi\u00f9 rapido, ci si concentra solo sulle conseguenze. Si concentra tutta l'energia per migliorare il proprio stato attuale.<\/p>\n

That works \u2013 for a while. But, after some time, you go back to your old ways, of course, without the intention of doing so.<\/p>\n

\u00c8 proprio per questo che \u00e8 necessario curare la causa sottostante prima di affrontare le conseguenze. L'intorpidimento \u00e8 la conseguenza, mentre l'esperienza traumatica \u00e8 la causa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So che questa \u00e8 l'ultima cosa che volete fare. Dopo tutto, evitare il tuo passato \u00e8 ci\u00f2 che ti ha portato qui in primo luogo.<\/p>\n

Avete investito tanti sforzi per bloccare i vostri traumi e fuggire dalle vostre ferite, e ora qualcuno vi dice che dovete fare il contrario: dovete guardarli negli occhi.<\/p>\n

Purtroppo, non c'\u00e8 un'altra strada da percorrere. Almeno, non una efficiente.<\/p>\n

Dig deep inside of yourself and do the best you can to realize what experience made you this way. Who cut your heart so bad that you\u2019re still bleeding?<\/p>\n

Avere un sistema di supporto \u00e8 come avere una rete di sicurezza sotto di s\u00e9 in ogni momento.<\/h3>\n

\"due<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care how strong you might think you are \u2013 nobody deserves to go through something like this alone. That is exactly why you must surround yourself with people who will hold your hand through this difficult time.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back to all of your friends and family you keep on ignoring lately. Well, they\u2019re the ones who will help you the most.<\/p>\n

These are the people you can call in the middle of the night whenever you\u2019re going through some hard times. These are the people who will help you reconnect with yourself by reconnecting with them.<\/p>\n

These are the people who will understand what you\u2019re going through and who won\u2019t judge you for any of it.<\/p>\n

These are the people who will be there to catch you whenever you\u2019re about to fall and who will collect your broken pieces and vi far\u00e0 tornare ad essere integri.<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, you\u2019re the creator of your own happiness. That means that the steering wheel of your own life is in your hands since you have all the responsibility on your shoulders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, that doesn\u2019t mean that surrounding yourself with awesome passengers won\u2019t help. They are your support system: your pillars and your safety net.<\/strong><\/p>\n

L'attivit\u00e0 \u00e8 il farmaco da assumere quotidianamente<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care whether you\u2019ll hit the gym, go hiking, or start riding a bike regularly \u2013 lifestyle changes are crucial for your recovery.<\/p>\n

Trust me: any kind of activity will help you a lot \u2013 it will enrich your brain with endorphins and literally fill you with positive emotions.<\/p>\n

Yes, most of these things are exhausting. I know that your schedule is tight and you\u2019re too busy to start working out now.<\/p>\n

Ma per favore, dimenticate le scuse. Dimenticatevi di aspettare il prossimo luned\u00ec e iniziate a muovervi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I assure you that you\u2019ll start feeling much better in no time. At the end of the day, the important thing is to keep yourself occupied.<\/p>\n

If you’re not into sports, there is always journaling, joining a book club, learning a new language, occupying your time with painting or music \u2013 whatever suits you the best.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be dead honest here: you can\u2019t change everyone around you. In fact, you shouldn\u2019t even try doing it.<\/p>\n

When you go back to being sensitive, bad things will start happening to you again. People will hurt you and your heart will get broken \u2013 nobody can save you from that.<\/p>\n

But, your goal shouldn\u2019t be to impact your entire surroundings. You\u2019re not here to change the world \u2013 you\u2019re here to change yourself, and that\u2019s more than enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically, what I\u2019m trying to say is that you have to learn how to cope with negative emotions.<\/p>\n

You have to learn how not to be affected by other people\u2019s actions and how to find inner peace despite everything going on in the outside world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mindfulness<\/h4>\n

Il modo per raggiungere questo obiettivo \u00e8 la mindfulness. Invece di essere ossessionati dal passato e dal futuro, essere consapevoli significa essere presenti nel momento esatto.<\/p>\n

Questo \u00e8 in realt\u00e0 il passo pi\u00f9 importante per combattere il distacco emotivo. Whatever is going on around you, take a step back and put all of your efforts into becoming aware of what you\u2019re feeling at the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t judge yourself and you don\u2019t make any presumptions. Instead, you just identify your emotions the way they truly are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rompere con lo stress<\/h3>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

Anche se non si potr\u00e0 mai cancellare la possibilit\u00e0 di stress nella propria vita, si pu\u00f2 sicuramente allontanare dalle sue fonti conosciute.<\/p>\n

The less you expose yourself to unwanted emotions at this stage, the more willing you\u2019ll be to overcome your numbness.<\/p>\n

Tagliate i ponti con tutti coloro che vi causano stress e ansia. Se necessario e possibile, cambiate ambiente.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s never too late to engage in another career, to get a divorce, or to find new friends \u2013 whatever suits you the best.<\/p>\n

Psicoterapia<\/h3>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Finally, if you\u2019re having a hard time dealing with your emotional detachment on your own, it\u2019s time to look for a mental health professional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is especially important if you’re taking some antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications for another mental health condition whose side effect can be emotional numbing.<\/p>\n

In questo caso, un terapeuta abilitato vi suggerir\u00e0 alcune opzioni di trattamento senza questi effetti collaterali indesiderati.<\/p>\n

A healthcare expert is also a part of your support system \u2013 they\u2019re just someone who knows exactly what you\u2019re going through.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeking counseling and therapy, or at least calling a helpline, will be one of the best choices you\u2019ll ever make. You\u2019ll be able to talk to the person who\u2019ll help you realize what has been going on inside of you.<\/p>\n

La terapia cognitivo-comportamentale serve a identificare il problema, a trovarne l'origine e, soprattutto, a guidarvi nel vostro percorso di guarigione.<\/p>\n

Per concludere:<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Even though emotional numbness might seem satisfactory at the moment, the fact is that it can\u2019t go on forever. You\u2019ll snap out of it sooner or later, and it\u2019s much better to get out of this state under your own terms.<\/p>\n

Sadly, with time, being emotionally detached from everything and everyone, including yourself, has become your comfort zone. Well, now is the final time to step out of it and take the leap into the unknown. It’s time to start practicing autocura emotiva<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I won\u2019t lie to you: emotional processing won\u2019t be all butterflies and roses. Instead, you\u2019ll expose yourself to a range of unwanted emotions that you\u2019ve been successfully avoiding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, at the same time, you\u2019ll be capable of feeling all those emotions that make you human. Most importantly, you\u2019ll feel alive once again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, believe me when I tell you that this sensation is worth all the trouble. Trust me: you\u2019ll thank yourself later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Emotional numbness is something we have all prayed for at some point.
