I'm not actually asking for myself so I hope you'll help me anyway. I have a very good friend who has recently revealed to me a behavior that I would term dissociation but I'm not sure.

She has a place she goes to inside her mind to escape from reality. It's intentional and she goes there a lot. When she's there she looks sort of glazed over and you can't really reach her to talk to her.

You guys seem to be the experts and I can't find help anywhere else. Is she dissociating? If not, any suggestions on where to look for other explanations and support?

Thanks so much.
