EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGES [#16563]

November 7, 2021

QUESTION:

What causes my emotions and feelings to be blocked because of things that happened to be in my past? Lately I feel weak and as if I’m just acting robotically, like a mind without emotions. Where does this problem come from – does it come from my aveiros or is it just that I have a nature to be this way? Would it help to do inner work with myself such as by learning the Rav’s sefarim and writing down my emotions?

ANSWER:

This needs to be dealt with professionally in-person, and it will not help to work on yourself by reading a book/sefer. It is a problem that came from aveiros from a previous lifetime.
