LMo, Yes she goes there in front of other people and pretty frequently.

I've just been looking for a name for it and dissociation was the closest thing I could think of so I read through some of the threads here and decided to ask those of you who experience these things. Thank you so much for answering.

In answer to other questions, she has a T, but it's not going well. I know this started as a defense during traumatic situations, but the frequency scares me a little.

Any suggestions for books or websites her family and I can look at? Anything that's helped you and your loved ones.
