Since I was a young child I've dissociated (I'm 58 now). I have always criticized myself for doing so...that somehow it's wrong or weird. But in therapy lately, we've been discussing dissociation not as something I shouldn't do, but that it is actually my "safe place."
I'm wondering what others' thoughts on this are. Do you feel safe when you dissociate, or not? What are your goals with regard to your dissociation? Do you hope to make it go away entirely, or do you hope to integrate dissociation into your self?
