For me it's been the years of work I've done in pretty intensive therapy. It has been in the telling and retelling of my story that has finally led to some resolve. I can't say there's been any "one" thing that worked or didn't, it just happened.

As I faced the traumas and began to put the pieces of some elaborate puzzles together, I began to see things more clearly. One of the biggest turning points for me was accepting that it wasn't my fault. I really and truly had done nothing to deserve it. I had heard T say it a million times, but it took me a long time to "get it" on my own.

Although I'm still telling parts of my story for the first time, the intensity and power it had over me of has lessened, as well as the fear of telling and the shame attached. Lessened, not gone. The depersonalization still happens when I'm under immense stress but I don't seem to "stay" there as long.

As far as medication goes, things like Ativan and Klonopin help to calm the the anxiety from escalating, which then spins me out of control. But I find myself taking less of that as well.

So I guess, for me, it was a lot of hard work and time.

Here's a pretty good article on it.
