Send us a text

Have you ever felt like you didn't exist, or like you were watching your life from someone else's perspective? I've been there, and I want to share my journey of overcoming dissociation and the year I felt dead. In this heartfelt episode, I dive into the mysterious world of dissociation, its symptoms, and how I clawed my way back to reality.

My traumatic life event in 2016 led me to EMDR therapy, where I encountered an unconventional yet effective method using a coin on a stick to desensitize me to the trauma and cope with my emotions. However, it wasn't a walk in the park—tune in to hear how I dissociated due to the stress, and my experience of rating my traumatic brain feelings on a scale from zero to ten.

In the final segment, we explore various options for managing dissociative disorder symptoms and emphasize the importance of investing in our mental health. From treating underlying medical issues to seeking help for overcoming addictions and considering medication changes, we cover it all. So join me in this enlightening episode as we navigate the challenging world of dissociation, and let's find hope for recovery together.
