When life becomes too heavy to process, your brain can step in as a shield. You might feel totally numb, drift away or feel like the world around you isn't quite real. This experience is known as dissociation, and it happens to a lot more people than you might realize.
Dissociation can show up as spacing out, feeling detached from your physical body, losing track of time or feeling emotionally blank. It can be a very real coping strategy, not something you're pretending to experience.
If you recognize these patterns in your own life, you don't have to navigate them by yourself. Therapy can provide gentle guidance to help you understand these responses and feel grounded again at a comfortable speed.
