<font color="blue">Sure it does, and sometimes it does take help from a T to point out to you when you dissociate even in therapy!
Everyone dissociates, ok? When someone drives a familiar course, and their mind wanders, and next thing they know they are "at" their destination--- they dissociated. There are plenty more examples.
It can become a problem if it happens so much that you can't stay safe, can't stay on track with a task, or "pay attention" enough to be part of life going on around you.
Do you gaze off into space... have to have someone wave their hand in front of your face to bring you back.... "lose" time in that you truly DO wonder where time went....recall being in a heated argument but don't recall what happened... then you might be a dissociator.
Is this any help?
