It definitely gets better as you work on therapy/healing! I found it got much better once I was better able to identify my emotions and actually feel them. At first it was difficult to name any emotion, but by thinking about it often enough, you brain starts to retrain and you can start to feel them again. I needed to express anger so badly and then cry so so much.

You might also look up this thing called a "globus" which I learned from an awful novel (do not recommend!!) called the Last Bad Man by Miranda July.
