“Book Descriptions: Do you ever feel as though you’re observing yourself from outside your body during stressful moments?Have you experienced gaps in your memory, where you can’t recall important events or periods of time?Do you find it challenging to stay present during conversations or activities, as if your mind is elsewhere?Have people commented on how you seem “zoned out” or detached during emotional discussions?Do you sometimes feel as if the world around you isn’t real, as if you're in a dream or movie?When faced with overwhelming emotions, do you often feel the urge to “turn off” or disconnect from those feelings?Have you noticed that your sense of identity or self feels fragmented or unclear at times?_______________Dissociation is a fascinating yet often misunderstood phenomenon that goes beyond just feeling spaced out or detached. Imagine going through a traumatic event, and instead of fully processing the pain, your mind creates a sort of emotional shield, making you feel like you're watching everything happen from a distance. This can lead to experiences like dissociative amnesia, where you might suddenly forget important details about your life or specific events, almost as if your brain is hitting the pause button on those memories. Some people even report feeling as if they’re not entirely present in their own bodies, a sensation known as depersonalization. While this might seem strange, it's actually a way our minds protect us from overwhelming emotions. However, when this protective mechanism lingers too long, it can make it tough to engage with our feelings and connect with others, leaving many feeling isolated and confused.The therapeutic goals of this therapeutic workbook :Overcoming dissociative amnesia and dissociative fugue .Practicing EMDR at Home Without a Therapist .Improving communication between alters by establishing effective communication, this can help you keep all your thoughts and communications organised.Understand how to control your detachment symptoms and triggers.Repairing memory problems due to memory loss for specific events, so this guided class will enable you to record your experiences and improve your memory’s ability to recall.Reducing stress to release negative emotions and deal with difficult experiences.Increasing your sense of self by processing your experiences in a creative and critical way and reflecting on them to understand your identity and values.____Notes : It's not about repetition, it's about step by step, day by day, towards freedom from dissociation .
