The other day I had to explain to someone what dissociation is and I had this moment of total disorientation like⊠the majority of my fellow human beings have no idea what dissociation, hypervigilance, blunted emotions etc are because theyâve never had a reason to learn. There are people living their lives without all of this bullshit I deal with on a daily basis and I cannot fathom what that must be like, to have that kind of freedom, to have the luxury of not knowing all the ways the human brain can falter when faced with trauma.
On the flip side itâs worth mentioning the people who experience all or some of these and have no idea that what theyâre experiencing has a name and can be dealt with.Â
