Things I often hear as a trauma therapist: "It feels like I'm not really here," or "I feel like I'm watching my life from outside my body." - Feeling detached or disconnected from reality. "I can’t remember how I got here," or "There are holes in my memory." - Memory lapses or gaps. "I don’t feel anything," or "Everything seems dull and colorless." - Emotional numbness, where feelings are muted or absent. "Time seems to stand still," or "Rooms seem to change size." - Altered perceptions of time and space. "Sometimes I feel like I’m not myself," or "I don’t recognize the person in the mirror." - Identity confusion or a feeling of having different personas. "Everything around me feels fake," or "I feel like I'm in a dream." - Feelings of unreality concerning oneself or one's environment. "I can’t focus on anything," or "My thoughts are all over the place." - Difficulty concentrating.

“Reframing your perspective is a powerful move. When you feel stuck or resistant, pause and look for the upside. Shifting your thinking from ‘I have to do this’ to ‘I get to do this’ engages curiosity. This turns every experience into a chance for growth, wisdom, and understanding.” Cory Allen

When someone is in a state of dissociation, the body is, in a sense, heroically taking care of itself. The mind is saying, "I'm not going to be hurt by this. I'm going someplace else." Stephen Porges, PhD
