Dissociation

[Angelwings]

Today I spent the majority of time dissociated. I was at my therapist's office, and was able to be together enough to pick my son up from school. I didn't even have flashbacks last night. I'm so confused. I don't know where it is coming from. I'm so worried that I'll do it when my son is awake. He's almost 9, so he'd be really confused. What do I do?

Do you think it's possible that being at your therapist's office all day could be adding to the problem? Like, it is almost giving you the opportunity to dissociate because it is a safe place to do so, and also because you are less likely to get on with normal day to day stuff while you are there. It is a false environment really. 'opportunity' is the wrong word to use but I hope you understand what I mean by it.
