In reply to dissociation, how to stop?, posted by muffled on December 17, 2006, at 15:03:41
> I dissociate alot more than I realized. My T has said this too.
> It makes everything so confusing.Isn't it amazing how you can dissociate that you dissociate? Never heard the word and did not know I was doing it until therapy. Needed someone else noticing and asking the right kind of questions to realize it, otherwise you keep forgetting that you forget.
> I starting to learn at least to notice it more...sort of.I kind it HUGELY upsetting to have it brought to my attention. Sometimes I get so distressed that I forget that I'd been reminded that I forgot so it's a double or triple forgetting, which is very convoluted and confusing.
> I dunno how NOT to dissociate.Me neither. How do you stop doing something you are barely able to acknowledge that you do and that you only know about in retrospect?
> Any ideas would be appreciated.I don't have any. Sorry. But if it helps at all, please know I'm similarly frustrated and troubled so you're not alone
