Dissociation

Many people may experience dissociation (dissociate) during their life.

If you dissociate, you may feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you. For example, you may feel detached from your body or feel as though the world around you is unreal.

Dissociation is one way the mind copes with too much stress, such as during a traumatic event.

Experiences of dissociation can last for a relatively short time (hours or days) or for much longer (weeks or months).

Counselling can help you to work through the trauma that may have caused the development of dissociative to develop more helpful coping mechanisms.

Therapy can also help you to find ways to manage your emotions and to cope with stress more effectively.
