Makes sense to me. I also tingle sometimes before I dissociate. I don't recognize it all the time but over working with my T we have figured out this sign so now it's one of the words I use when I can notice it and have time to tell her before I dissociate.

I've posted this on another thread, but I'd like to share it here since it is related to what I'm trying to understand.

In my way to talk with my counselor, my hands and feet get this tingling, like electricity. It's not really strong starting out, but it's there! If there is something important that I know I'll share with him, it gets stronger the closer I get to his office.

A couple of weeks ago, I got to his office and was sitting in the waiting area. The tingling was there but not really strong. The minute he walked in and said "hello" it felt like a bolt of electricity hit the bottom of my feel. I jumped because it was so strong.

Another time, I was talking with him about a really hard thing to share. My fingers and feet felt like they were "buzzing" it was really weird! Then it was like what we were talking about, the past, overlapped into the present. That was really weird. I didn't realize that it had happened until several days later. It's like I was getting pieces of what happened a piece at a time. If that's sense.

I'm trying to figure out how to decide if the tingling is a sign of me being not there. I also don't remember what we talk about. Maybe a couple of topics but not much content. Does that mean I'm not there? I feel like I am, and my counselor will ask me and I tell him I feel fine except for the tingling in my hands and feet.

I full believe that I will remember what we talk about. I don't.

Does this make sense to anyone?
