"If they choose to be on the ceiling or they choose to be present." My experience is that there is no choice involved. It happens, it happens really quickly, and it takes time to come back. You don't feel good while it is happening, and when you come out of it, you feel terrible.
I have a lot of dissociation and I must say I disagree with you. Of course it's not possible to just easily turn dissociation on and off but there are many ways to affect on it and to make it milder, through practise. I also occasionally enjoy dissociation, because it takes my pain or fear away. Sometimes it feels horrifying, but not always. Experiences with dissociation can be very diverse.
The whole talk about choice is why I disliked this video. the scariest thing about dissociation for me is the fact that even when im aware its happening I still have no choice.
@@percyparker923 I completely agree..The worst part about dissociation is being aware that it is happening and not being able to turn it off.. it's extremely frustrating
Trauma mechanisms ought not to be labeled as brilliance. Victims brains don't need superficial and nonsensical emotional adjective descriptions to pacify painful experiences. This coddling is dangerous and disrespectful to the reality and consequences of trauma and abuse. Breaking away is not a skill.
I wonder if that's what happens when children are brutally traumatized ? I never will understand why God allows this to happen and I hope to God there not really there they have dissociated .
God doesn't remove our tribulations & tests in life but rather he gives us help to be able to endure them. Soon when the Kingdom comes, all pain & suffering will come to an end. Until then Satan rules the world. 1 John 5:19, Matthew 6:10.
