Trying To Figure Out Why I Dissociate

[SinkorSwim]

I've had my fair share of trauma growing up. I tend to dissociate a lot in therapy which is normal because we are talking about the trauma. What I don't get is I will be at work working and all of a sudden I'm staring at the computer and 17 minutes fly by. I don't know where I go and why work is doing this to me. I've been at the same job for 10 years and I don't know if just working through the trauma in therapy is also leading me to dissociate at random times during the day too.

I think that's quite likely. I know that has always been the case for me. Do you do any work on staying grounding minute by minute throughout the day? In other words proactively? And general monitoring of stress levels.

Yes it is so with me. I have been in therapy for five years now. I just recently have aquired the courage to start working on my trauma events and the dissociative affect it rendered. I find myself falling back into the numb state and time warps. It scares me to the core. Regardleas, I know that I must adhere to this cycle healing. I pray you are able to do the same and find the peace within...

That is happening to me. Someone will come up to me and I will not even know I am in another world or time until they touch me and then I jump out of my chair an almost hit them out of fear???? I am most of the time in Nam again in my head but my body is at my desk. I don't get it.
