I believe in the body. I believe the body doesn't lie and if we listen, it can tell us a lot about ourselves; what happened and what issues need addressing
I totally agree Chris. I used to recommend that people touch something cold metal (hot might burn them). The extra sensation of cold along with hard can help bring a person out of the trance-like/floating state.
I know I used to do it a lot more than I do now. Kids get into it when they are sitting in front of the TV or gameboy.
hhmmm ... never thought of that LL. Wish I knew you 20 years ago!
I also believe in dreams. I realize this is a little off topic, but I do think that when we dream it is an opportunity to listen to what our sub-conscious is trying to say. And especially after leaving a sect like the Witnesses, it can be helpful.
But as far as disociative feelings, it is real and it is a sign of real damage inflicted on someone by another. The body doesn't lie. And if the issue isn't dealt with, that floating feeling starts to become a habit and ingrained but the feelings behind fester and will come out in other ways.

And while a defence mechanism such as dissociation works well for people at the time of a trauma or when it was learned to cope with abuse situations it really messes things up when you try to use them in the real world..
Eventually the memories/feelings/behaviours have to express themselves either as physical illnesses or out of control emotional responses.
