Hrrrm. Bruh is it possible that you have like...
Like if people w/o much trauma, might have like a smooth distribution of sensation intensity (probably a power law dist?)

hmm if i had to make up a story it would be like... i’ve dissociated from strong sensations generally for so long that my system just hasn’t learned which ones are safe or unsafe to experience so it perceived them all as threats by default

Have you tried finding... neutral sensations?
Like, dipping your finger in a cup of lukewarm water?
Trying different temps til you find the lukewarmiest?
I wonder if that might build some experience of "nonthreat"...
