the loud sound is the trigger. dissociate is the action/reaction.
when a person dissociates (feels numb, spacey, disconnected, switches into alters) it is an action/reaction to a trigger (something that is causing the person to feel dissociates.)
using example from your post.......
confusion in your mind was too much so you switched
confusion in your mind is the trigger and switched is the reaction/action
the fact that one is a reaction/action to the other is the difference between the two.

I am starting to get it. Thank you. The confusion in my mind caused an emotional overload than I switched. Right now I am taking a break from dealing with it. Everyone is respecting my need for quite and I am grateful. I have spent most of my life like this. It is only in the last six to seven years that my alters began making themselves more visible to me. And it is only sense therapy that I can now see them as separate selves of the whole. They are happy about that. I am still trying to trust that our life won't go out of control. But right now everyone is letting me have have my space. We are most often good to each other because we love each other. Everyone. Thanks again for helping me I really needed it last night.
