where as the term dissociation (no letter a in the word) in my location means a person gets triggered and feels numb, spacy, foggy minded disconnected from their self or their environment.

not knowing which term you mean but taking it from sentence context Im assuming you mean the information found in the link (my signature line) on dissociative disorders.....yes here in america there are many kinds of dissociative disorders. Dissociation is like a connecting rope. At one end of the rope is normal dissociative events/symptoms that every human being has and from there on through to the other end of the rope what my location calls abnormal /disordered levels of dissociation. what you find in my signature link is only those dissociative disorders recognized in the USA. other locations may recognize other dissociative disorders.
Oh I meant the second one (dissociation), I feel that way most of the time, I hardly ever feel connected to my environment and never to myself. Words get mixed up in my head sometimes and I add in letters until it looks right. Got it wrong that time oops.
Thanks for this!
