Dissociation can be a powerful survival strategy—your mind’s way of protecting you when things feel overwhelming.
But when it becomes your default way of coping, it can quietly disconnect you from your emotions, relationships, and sense of self.
If you often feel “checked out,” spaced out, or disconnected from your body, it’s not weakness—it’s a learned response. And it can be gently unlearned with support.
You deserve to feel present, safe, and connected.
