So day-dreaming and not listening are my major symptoms which "show" that I dissociate... |
I do similar. Although for me, I can become mute and literally unable to think when things are too stressful. I mentally shut down, and although I am still "there", I'm not really there. I feel far away, spacey, in a dream, and can't really remember everything my T says. I remember phrases and pieces, but I can't remember all of it. It's very weird.
