I'm in search of information or a source that describes Dissociation in a simple to understand way - if such a thing exists.

My husband is trying to understand, I think, what dissociation is and what I'm experiencing. That is truly an answer to prayer!! He is very simplistic. I don't say that meaning he's remedial, he's more of a black and white, numbers and facts kind of person. I've shared a couple of things with him that I have experienced, and I haven't gotten very good responses from him. It's a deer in the headlights kind of look and change the subject completely, or explosive anger. In my heart I feel that his reactions are because he doesn't understand what I am trying to share with him, and he doesn't know how to react.

I've read so many books, and I understand to a certain degree what's happening. I get it. The information that I've read is too psychological in one aspect, which totally goes over his head or too scientific, which takes too much explanation from me to try to explain and him understand. He is NOT a person who enjoys reading books, so I can't really go that route.

My counselor sent me a UTube link that describes aspects of it, but after listening to it, it would also go over his head. I so want him to understand, but I can't find a resource to share with him that would explain it in his language.

I wish there was a book titled "Dissociation for Dummies" Nothing implied toward my husband, it just sounds like a book like that would be very simple and easy to understand. Is there one and I've not Googled enough websites? Maybe a UTube link that was more simplified?

This is so frustrating! He's finally wanting to understand and I can't find a way to explain it.

Does anyone know of any information you could share with me?
