Well, she talks lots about this 'feeding the bad side' and maybe when I am in this state, it is kinda the same deal? Like to compare, she doesn't want to start EMDR until I learn not to float away and dissociate because if she starts and I do that, it is just feeding the bad side, making it stronger... I get that. Is this the same then? Dissociation is a symptom of trauma, so is hypo/hyper arousal states.... She says that is why we can't talk I guess if i am not in 'the window of tolerance' (if you look it up there is a nifty little chart that shows the hyper/hypo states on opposite scales and in the middle is your window of tolerance...

But I don't know how to work on coming down from a hyper or coming up from a hypo... And I'd rather be up than down!!
