dissociation

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced a condition called dissociation ? It can be very distressing and it starts very unexpectedly. Any input would be great !

    Yes, I dissociate. It's a PTSD response as far as I know, and is different to shutdowns. There's always a trigger though for me, either people flirting with me or touching me. The best description I've read of it was in The Body Keeps the Score. Dissociation is a texhnical word for one type of zoning out. Depending on which form of zoming out you're doing there'll be different ways of managing it.
