Dissociation is a disconnection between a person’s memories, feelings, behaviors, perceptions, and/or sense of self
For those who experience mild dissociation, it would be considered as daydreaming or escaping reality for a short period. However, if it is prolonged, it is always important to find out what could have caused this disorder.
Symptoms of prolonged dissociation:
-anxiety
-PTSD
-Depression
-OCD
For the most part, numbers have shown the most common cause and or symptom of dissociation is trauma.
dissociation typically affects people who have experienced physical or sexual abuse, kidnapping, a life-threatening car accident, or a natural disaster.
The question you may want to ask yourself is,
“Is there trauma that may have occurred, that has been swept under the rug?”
