I wanted to find music/lyrics that reflect the experience of being dissociated or having a dissociation disorder. The song doesn't have to literally be about dissociation, just sounds like it could be.
Here are a few I found:
Shatter Me - Lindsey Stirling ft Lzzy hale
Bring me to Life -...
This has been a huge part of what I have been doing right now. I cried when I read this and haven't been able to reply to it. I've made so many bad choices in recent years due to fear. I got more in touch with my feelings a couple of years ago when I got close to someone (to the point I nearly...
Op here, I didn't realize I could post as a guest. Thank you so much for this. I read these replies while at the park (trying to get exercise and nature) and I used the technique you described. I felt so much more grounded and not time traveling as much. I felt content and calm even though...
The reason I would let him pay is because I'm exhuasted all the time.
The abuse wasn't sexual or physical. It was/is emotional, verbal, relational and I don't know if I even quality for the DSM5 PTSD. My last therapist said I had symptoms of PTSD but I don't have any official diagnosis. I'm...

Not sure if this is the right place for this. I'm looking for feedback on how to take care of therapy financially.
I can't afford therapy and I'm looking at my options. For some time I've considered asking my father to pay for my therapy. I've not talked to my father much in the last few years...
I could act like it wasn't terrifying and distract myself, but yeah it was a constant terror. I had nightmares all the time until they left.
Thank you, I'll look up those resources. I get emotional flash backs and don't really know how to handle them. I don't think I'll try EMDR alone. I think...
I have done some therapy this year and realized I use some dissociation to cope. It's been hard to understand myself when I dont always fit the mold and I feel overwhelmed, but therapy did help me to be more aware. I took an online test recently and it said I scored very high on dissociation...
