@sittingwithlauren: If dissociation had a voice, it might say: I'm trying to protect you. This emotion feels like too much. I'm afraid if I back away, you get overwhelmed. I'm trying to keep you safe in the way that I learned how. If I don't show up, I don't know what will happen. Understanding the role dissociation plays is one way we begin to relate to it differently. It isn't failure. It's protection. It's information. When it shows up, it might be saying: Hey, I think we should slow down. We are going too fast. This feels like a lot all at once. From there, we can respond to that communication in new ways.🤍 #dissociation #dissociate #cptsd #nervoussystemhealing
