What is emotional anesthesia and how to manage it?
The first thing we must understand is that the word anesthesia is immobility, therefore if we talk about emotional anesthesia, then we are referring to an inability in the psychological order that a person may have to experience emotions.
If it works as a way of anesthesia, I would say that the emotions are there but we do not feel them, not feeling them, it is impossible for us to interact with them, although at first glance it seems that it may be favorable, since that person who does not feel emotions, can avoid pain and sadness for example, however that is very accurate of reality, since the human being needs to experience emotions.
The negative factors that discourage our life do not go unnoticed, and of course leave negative effects, living a life full of stress or even go through a traumatic event can upset the balance of our emotions, and in this case can trigger an emotional anesthesia, logically after living so many bad things nobody wants to feel emotions, so the body as a defense mechanism takes care of us to continue feeling emotions, but this is very dangerous, because emotions must have a balance.
The person who goes through this event with psychosocial characteristics, the best thing to do is to be able to identify its causes, so that later those causes can be attacked with the help of a professional and in this way the person can live with balanced emotions.
