Labeled as both a coping mechanism and a defence mechanism, dissociation is common in the recovering who grow up in violent or tumultuous households, for those of us who’ve experienced trauma. It’s an intense version of fight-or-flight, where, when we encounter acute stress, our brains learn to shut off (flight) as an attempt to protect ourselves. <br />
<br />
 Our personal symptoms related to dissociation include forgetting like, all of our childhood, and being a really shitty driver, ‘cause we usually forget that we are a human, and that we are driving. </div>
