A way of looking at it is that it's a symptom of an Ego State Disorder, where we dissociate a whole set of good positive feelings from another whole set of very painful ones. It's part of having Complex PTSD from childhood physical or sexual abuse, or badly misattuned or neglectful parenting. It's what I've got, and I'm learning to hold both sets of feelings in mind at the same time, while working to lessen the severity of the painful feelings with my T.
