A lot has changed since then. Defrosting takes time and each time schedule is different. I sometimes tried to rush the process and learned through painful experiences that a slow warming to emotions is more comfortable and just as effective. Kind of like not putting your cold hands under hot water. Using warm water does the job just as well and with less trauma. No need to re-traumatize yourself in the process of learning to feel again. I still have times when I disconnect my feelings but I am in control of when I do that. You can do this too.
