Emotional Detachment?

Hi, I was wondering how I would go about getting therapy for emotional detachment...........I also think I have Dissociation problems, and maybe dissociative amnesia?......See, I cant give my whole life story now, its too crazy and long, but im 22 years old, and I moved out on my own when I was 20. Before then, I was in an abusive environment(stepdad), and my mother wasnt doing anything to fix it. So basically what happened is over the 7 years I spent living in the town I was living in, I learned how to shut down all my feeling, almost literally. It was defensive, because I didnt know how to deal with all my problems, I was just a kid. Well, I went through all kind of mental states, and even delved into Nihilism for awhile.....Eventually, I was able to move out quickly, I saved up 10 grand and got a place, thought that if I removed myself from my situation, I would get better. And I did to a certain extant. But what I find now is that I dont socialize normally........cont--Emotional Detachment?
Well what you are saying is your behavior now is just expected after being brought up in an environment like theh one you described.



It is true, you are not going to get better or change just because you moved.



There are some issues you need to work on or if not you are going to recreate the same dysfunctional relationships you had in your family of origin with your current associates.



there is a lot of pain and isolation protects you from the outside world that in your mind is only going to harm you like you where at your house.



You may benefit from developing coping skills , working on anxiety and just also process all the feelings that you have towards others.



Please do not let it scalate look for good help.Emotional Detachment?
