You cannot turn emotions off. They always come back.
Anything an individual can do to try and suppress emotions, it never works. Whether it be telling yourself you have no emotions and trying to become a machine, or using drugs, the emotions are still there.
This leads to a negative cycle where you manage to suppress emotions for a time, but then they come back worse, and you double down on your suppression efforts.
On top of that you are making the underlying issue actually worse.
The only long term solution is to make peace with it. It is possible. There are even Mengele experiment survivors that forgave Mengele.
