"manage your problems with out using your dissociation skills," This is exactly what is completely unknown to me. I wouldn't even know were to start. I switch for everything depending on the situation. If I didn't switch who would be there to manage? I can not conceptualize this concept in my mind. No beginning. Its like listening to a foreign language. It's empty to me. But I hear it said all the time. Again, if I didn't switch who would manage?
