This is the first time I've started a thread outside of the Dissociative Disorders subforum. I have only felt safe posting there until I read the threads from Trace14 and the book by Pete Walker, "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" I discovered that book from a post that someone made on another thread.

What is described in that book sounds just like what I experience on so many levels. I can understand it, and it has given me insight into many things that I've not realized before.

I do have a question. The way that he describes dissociation is not exactly how I experience it. It may be, and I'm just not understanding. But. In reading his writing, he doesn't refer to "losing time" that I have seen. I have not come across references or experiences of being a "passenger" and another "part" stepping in and doing things that I was a witness to and unable to stop from happening.

Does he talk about these things, and I've missed it?

Just curious.
