thats the thing about people online... people online like me, are not in your body and are not in your therapy sessions, dont have your same health issues, your same cultural background....so there is no way any one online (me included here ) can give you examples of how....you...feel and what ....you....might have meant. only you know why you told your therapist that you dissociate....only you know what you meant when you said that you dissociate..

I can tell you how ..........I.........feel when ........I.........dissociate but thats not going to be what you feel and how dissociation is for you,...

think of it this way.... your therapist knows you, and has been seeing you for how ever long. they are going to know whether you dissociate or not, they are going to know whether you are taking someone elses examples online or not. they dont want a list of how I dissociate. you are the one who said you dissociate so you will need to be the one to tell your therapist what you meant...

the best thing you can do now is just admit to your therapist you said the word but have no idea what it is and whether you actually do dissociate. then tell your therapist what you ......are.... feeling. its ok to admit that you dont know why you said that you dissociate.

heres a suggestion.... therapists have to keep a file on everyone that they see. in the files the write up whats called session notes....tell your therapist you dont know what you meant, then they can check in the session notes and tell you what you were talking about during your session when you said you dissociate. from there you can tell your therapist what you meant when you said it.

heres another suggestion... rather than saying words you may not know or understand keep it simple just tell your therapist in words that you do know and understand, to describe what you feel.
