Complete transcript: How to tell if you're dissociating | Quick signs to look for

Therapist: Dissociation is when we leave our body during trauma or any time we experience extreme or chronic stress, that exceeds our capacity to deal with it our brain steps in to protect us.

There's a split between your mind and your body. You'll know you're in this state when you feel really checked out, numb or even stuck in place, even though time is passing. You might even look like you're emotionless or that you don't care, but that's the thing about dissociation, you appear really cold and apathetic, but you're really in shutdown mode.

So here are 4 quick signs that you might be starting to dissociate.
1. Your brain feels foggy and might even struggle to speak or communicate.
2. Your body is numb and motionless. And often you have no energy.
3. You struggle to feel your emotions, like sadness or anger and you might even worry that something's wrong with you.
4. You feel dizzy. And in some intense cases, you might even feel like you're above yourself or even blacking out.

If this resonates: HOW TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF DISSOCIATION
1. Use ice water (just for hands if showers are too intense) take deep breaths and focus on the sensation
2. Use movement like jumping, dancing, shaking, or light stretching
3. Get into nature and stillness

4. Practice breathwork (3 deep, slow breaths from the belly is a quick and simple process.
