Most of our lives we are able to think, feel and act out of clarity.

We can remember important things, know who we are and where we are.

BUT if we experienced trauma, we sometimes disconnect like we would suddenly go offline. We experience numbness and appear cut off.

Today, you will understand how dissociation actually feels like

You will learn how it protects you and where it comes from

And you will learn how to re-regulate, if you experience depersonalized or derealized states.
