When I was raped I dissociated, to where I was watching what was happening instead of the one being hurt. I was still me but the me that was being hurt wasn't "home". When I get really distressed I can still enter this state of being removed from myself. I remember what happens but I withdraw from the situation. Usually, rock back and forth and my eyes usually start to shift back and forth. My therapist, would have to force me back when I did this in therapy.

So I assume there are many facets to dissociation.
