From a book I am reading

"Dissociation, while protective, creates suffering. When people who have suffered trauma leave their bodies, they leave home. By rejecting pain and pulling away from the ground of their being, they experience the disease of separation-loneliness, anxiety, and shame. They are cut off from a wholeness of being."

This part: "they experience the disease of separation-loneliness, anxiety, and shame." is so much of my life.
