How To Recognise Dissociation & Manage It | Catriona Morten

Dissociation is a state our body goes into when we have no more capacity to cope.

When we dissociate, our thinking brain goes offline & into a completely different cycle of fight, flight or freeze, where we can't think, we just act. This can happen if a past trauma gets triggered. We can dissociate without knowing why.

In todays video, Catriona Morten explains dissociation and the different levels of it, and shows you how to recognise when someone is dissociated with the different signs to look out for. She provides a checklist for knowing when you're dissociated and things you can do to manage it. She also explores how you can support yourself or others with dissociation.
