This theory makes the most sense to me of anything I've read. I'm quite sure I've been dissociating nearly all my life for different reasons. I don't believe I ever developed enough of a 'core' before it started happening to have one to pinpoint, let alone return to. As they say about PTSD, "You can't return to a state that never was in the first place." (Can't remember who said it but I love that saying.)
