Detached

In the aftermath of going NC, I realize how emotionally detached I felt from everyone while with N. I could not feel as loving as I use to towards everyone, including my own family. I thought that going NC would help with this issue but to be honest, I still feel that detached feeling. I think this is a symptom of trauma but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone else feel a sense of this feeling? I just feel pretty apathetic towards my family and friends. I just can't feel as intensely for them as I did before. I'm kinda numb.
