Just being aware of it called my attention to it and I acknowledged it. That was really weird, but it calmed it.
I guess I'm thinking that if I can feel it coming, I can stop it. Maybe. If that makes sense. I just don't want to be a victim anymore. It really feels bad to be a victim of myself.
It happens to me so fluidly and I don't realize it until after the fact. Today was empowering that I felt and saw it.

so happy for you.
yes it makes sense that if you can feel it coming you can stop it. in me my treatment providers called this a great progress and healing, why because with recognizing when it was happening I was able to use my grounding tools (breathing, focusing my attention and other grounding tools that I use) which in turn would calm the automatic reaction to dissociate.
