How can you tell if you dissociate. T tells me I am doing it but how can you tell? Sometimes I feel that I have seen her really up close even if we are sitting far apart. Thats a bit strange. We have been working with me getting into a trance but how can you tell the difference?

She once asked if I were seeing colours when I closed my eyes. Well I don´t and the whole thing scares me a bit. Sometimes I feel a bit freakish.

Have all people who dissociate been abused or do some people just use it as a defence mechanism even as adults?
