What is Dissociation?

Dissociation is a common reason people seek therapy. The experience can look different from one person to another: symptoms may be mostly emotional, physical, cognitive (thought-based), or relational.

On this page you’ll find an overview of Dissociation, typical signs, and what support options can look like.

When Dissociation is linked to trauma, the nervous system may stay in ‘survival mode’. A trauma-informed approach is key.

Common symptoms of Dissociation

  • 侵入性记忆或闪回
  • 过度警觉和惊吓反应

  • 噩梦

可能的原因和促成因素

Dissociation rarely has a single cause. It usually results from a mix of biology, life experiences, stress levels, personality traits, and current context.

  • 活动结束后缺乏支持
  • 反复或早期生活创伤
  • 持续的不安全环境
