Hello all,

I have suffered Dissociation for quite a few years but didn't know it was dissociation until last year. I also suffer from feeling of not being real (I know it has a name but I can't think of it).

Anyway I dissociate nearly every time I'm in my therapist's office and then I struggle to come back and sometimes it takes the whole day. When i leave the session I can't remember a single word that had been said which from my point of view is a waste of a session. I can feel when I'm about to dissociate however I don't know how to stop it from happening. I told my therapist once and she don't do much to help, she just tries to wrap the session up quicker and keeps asking me if I'm with her before letting me go. I don't think that's helpful as she isn't helping me prevent it (if you can).

So I was wondering how do you all keep yourself grounded and if you can't how do you snap out of it?
