I Thought I Was Dissociating (But I Was Wrong)

“We need to normalize dissociation.”
“It’s okay to dissociate.”
“We all dissociate sometimes.”

You’ve probably heard some version of this lately.

But here’s the honest truth no one is saying: Most people aren’t dissociating. They’re shutting down.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the real reason people think they’re dissociating and how the phrase has been so watered down that it no longer matches what’s actually happening.

I share:

  • the survival strategy I used to live by

  • why avoiding emotions felt safer than feeling them

  • what I had to unlearn in order to stop numbing out

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, checked out, numb, or like you’re “not here,” this episode will help you understand yourself in a way that brings relief instead of shame.
