    Feeling no emotions can arise from many different factors. It can be a symptom from another condition such as depression or PTSD, a side-effect of certain medications, or even the environment we grew up in. Some techniques used to help are values exploration and mindfulness/grounding techniques. Regardless of where it comes from, therapy can help you reclaim your emotions.

    Possible Symptoms​

  • High anxiety or worry
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Impulsiveness
  • Difficulty managing  behaviors
  • Conflict in relationships
  • Intense shame or guilt
  • Easily frustrated or annoyed

    • Treatment Approach​

    Intense emotions can make us feel out of control. They may have you acting impulsively, they may be causing problems in your personal relationships, and may even have you questioning if they are “justified.” Through therapy, we will learn ways to weather through intense feelings without acting on them, find soothing skills that help calm yourself during these intense emotions, and find ways to utilize their guidance without feeling like the emotion is taking control.

    I like to start with this phrase: “Emotions are not the enemy.” Our emotions are a vast guidance system that helps us understand who we are, what we want, and who we want to be. They help us connect with others, they help us pursue our goals, and they help us remember what is important.
