I can find plenty of people who report that chakra healing worked for them. There are self-reports for a lot of things working for people. That doesn’t mean those things are necessarily good.
In this case it likely works for you in the sense that it produces a disassociation. Disassociating emotions is however generally not a optimal strategy for dealing with emotions. Mainstream psychology is generally against it.
There advantages of becoming a psychopath, but doing disassociative techniques that move in that direction is still not something I would recommend.
I agree that it does produce disassociation, but I don’t think, for me, it’s about disassociating from emotions. It’s a disassociation from an identity label. It helps keep my identity small in way that speaks to my System 1 well.
