Dissociation is a complex psychological process where an individual disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity, often as a protective mechanism in response to trauma. While dissociation can provide temporary relief from overwhelming emotions, it can also lead to significant challenges in daily life, including difficulties with memory, concentration, and maintaining a cohesive sense of self. However, with the right support and strategies, it is possible to manage dissociation and reclaim your life.
