Dissociation is a biological protection that disconnects you from the traumatic experiences. It exists as a continual relatively mind sensation of forgiveness, sleepiness or having difficulty concentrating, to feeling numb, or cut off. In the most extreme situations, you might have lapses of memory or a feeling of lost time for instance, a neglected or abused child may learn to dissociate as a form of time out, in a threatening experience. This can be, perpetuated as you push away the parts of you that hold emotions of fear, shame or helplessness. Derealization and depersonalation are two very key aspects of dissociation. Derealization refers to ways in which you feel surreal or as if you are living in a dream. Depersonalisation this is when you are disconnected to your feelings or thoughts as though they are not yours. In order to heal dissociation you need to ask yourself to accommodate the reality of your childhood neglect of abuse. You can then develop the capacity to recognise that the traumatic event that happened to you and that this is over now and you do not need to relive this experience over and over again. You can not always differentiate the past, from the present. But when you do it gives you access to choices of how this was not available to you at the time. But by developing your understanding of the injustice and unfairness you suffered or the evil as it existed in your life you can heal this part of you. The world plays a crucial role in your ability to adapt to adversity. We need to maintain a sense of meaning in our life from this. We could hold hope, helping other survivors of atrocities who we meet. We can find meaning in many different ways from philosophy or spirituality. Though this meaning, we can recognise how your unique and painful life experiences have helped you grow, to become a better person as a result of this experience.
