Sitting With Dissociation
Understanding Protection, Building Connection, and Finding More Choice
We will explore:
• why dissociation makes sense
• the fear that can arise when you notice it happening
• learning the edges of your own experience
• curiosity without over-interpreting
• why “come back into your body” isn't always the answer
• finding connection through the environment, movement, vision, sound, the body, and relationship
• dual awareness
• finding options and choice
• and what healing can look like beyond simply dissociating less
You don't have to become better at forcing yourself to stay.
Maybe you can begin learning what it means to stay in relationship with yourself—even when part of you needs to create distance.
