I talk about this webinar I listened to yesterday and today by the NICABM Behavioral Psychology group.  Different psychologists discussed the phenomenon of dissociation and, while I've heard the term and learned about it in my Intro. to Psych class forever ago, I never fully understood what it was and never thought it applied to me.  People rarely discuss this idea and they should.  I've been doing energy work for over 2 years now and this is the first I've heard of it in any way.  So much of the trauma I've been healing in myself is dissociation or the fragmentation of my identity to protect myself from physical, emotional or mental pain.  I didn't know there was a word for it.  Or specific symptoms.  Weirdly, Franny seems to know all about it.  He knows so many things!  Maybe I understand it now, because I'm older or not as close to it.  I don't know why I wasn't able to see how it applied to me, but basically almost everyone from my hometown seems to have some kind of dissociation.  Maybe it was so pervasive, I didn't think people lived any other way.  

I will explore this topic over the next couple podcasts.
