A person on Quora asked this question. This is how I answered it:
Thank you for this question. I am answering this from the perspective of being a hypnotist who has helped many clients over 20+ to overcome trauma. Some of these clients had become emotionally numb due to trauma and they have indeed been able to regain their emotions through the healing process. There are many techniques that I use in my practice to help my clients heal their trauma including desensitizing the negative emotional events, doing inner child work, and forgiveness, and appreciation work.
The interesting thing is that once my clients regain their emotions they get upset with me because they do not know how to deal with normal human emotions. So that is the next piece of work that needs to be dealt with so the client can constructively deal with their emotions.
Thank you again for this question because it is an important part of some trauma-harmed clients’ lives and deserves to be better understood.
