It's dissociative, but not necessarily another dissociative disorder.

It was one of my main issues with emotional blunting, recalling traumatic memories with just a calm detachment and no emotional reactivity. Over the years, if I spoke of the events to other people, they would become visibly upset on my behalf. Their emotional reactivity came as a surprise because my care givers and social workers didn't display emotional reactivity. Cognitively I understood the events were traumatic but never felt any emotional connection to them.

Now, without emotional blunting, I can feel the pain, cry and no longer feel the need to keep recalling the events. Without the need to recall them, the memories are fading.

It does improve. Just need to find something to halt and reverse the blunting process. I'm sorry I can't advise how to do that. Each case is unique and needs to be dealt with on an individual basis.
