NUMB

Most people have experienced the sensation of being emotionally numb at least once in their lifetime, usually after or during a very stressful event. For the majority of people, this involves a temporary feeling of disconnection from the body and outside world. At its core, emotional numbness is a coping mechanism. It’s a way of shutting ourselves off from something that has been extremely painful or overwhelming.
