I believe it's imperative that we reconnect by acknowledging and appreciating the things around us that we are grateful for, but also by getting busy with activity, diet, exercise, and visualization etc. It may seem like a leap of faith, but we all have a divine connection to our internal and external world. Tapping into that is absolutely crucial. Do this by maintaining a present state, not allowing yourself to dwell upon the past nor anxiously awaiting the future. Likewise, always stay away from asking questions like "how" and "what if". All of this internal and external construction is not your domain, they are the domain of the Universe or God. (however you choose to interpret your higher power) Your job is merely to stay healthy both in mind and body...and with this, everything around you will fall wonderfully into place. Good Luck and Best Wishes!

Hon, I've been trying to figure it out for years, and I haven't felt a thing other than brief bursts of despair over the fact. The only thing that I can think of is that you ought to try something new, and maybe by immersing yourself in that something new, you will forget to think about it so much, and reconnect on your own.

Depends on what emotion you want to reconnect with.
Is it fear. Put yourself in a scary situation.
Is it sadness. hire a really sad movie.
Emotions are good for nothing most of the time. I would be thrilled to have a break from them from time to time. It's a bit of a sweeping statement if you ask me.

I have the same problem. At the moment, I'm keeping a journal where I write for 20 minutes each day about things that happen and how I felt about it. I have to use words that name emotions. I can't just say being cut off in traffic stank. I have to say being cut off in traffic made me feel frightened, then angry. Also, instead of ignoring my feelings, or pushing them aside, I have to take time to feel the emotions. If I feel sad driving past a housing development that has ruined a natural area, I allow myself to feel the sorrow and sadness at the destruction of beauty. It hurts, I won't lie. I also feel some joy, even if it is just a little joy at seeing young bluebirds playing in my birdbath and remembering their mother who I had to take to a wildlife rescue because she couldn't fly and how she got well and was released. Life is a series of good things and bad things and we have to react to them and allow ourselves to feel things instead of hiding from them. I hope this helps.

Ask your therapist. I think you just have to force yourself to figure out how different things make you feel. If you are upset, sad, happy, etc. what it is it that makes you that way?

My opinion would be to get out more and interact with people and find something you enjoy doing and if you don't have a pet get one
