From what I understand, one reason a person could experience these symptoms of dissociation is increased stress/pressure in one's life, and also due to emotional/psychological trauma that a person has not dealt with and has internalized to the point that dissociation is the minds greatest escape. This is usually on a sub-conscious level.

I'm sure there are other reasons for it happening other than this, but ultimately I think it comes down to the mind finding a creative way of coping with and escaping from some form of trauma.

What I have found works well when I experience these symptoms is grounding techniques and mindfulness. I think the suggestion of DBT skills is also a good thing. You can learn more about all of these from google searches if you like.

If these symptoms are impacting your life in a negative way, I would speak with your MD about it, or if you have a T, I would let them know how these things are affecting you.

Take care, and keep us posted on how you're doing.
