When I dissociate t has really started to notice. I completely shut down and freeze. T has tried so many times to stop it before it happens. Sometimes this works, other times it doesn’t. She asks me what is going on for me and to try and describe it but most of the time it’s too late, I can’t talk. She has tried the can’t talk or won’t talk approach but that just annoys me and I will refuse to talk!
Lately she tries to change the subject to something lighter before I completely shut down which helps.
