Symptoms exist on a continuum from mild sensations of fogginess to feeling numb or disconnected from self. It allows the person to compartmentalize and disconnect from aspects of traumatic and troubling experiences that could otherwise overwhelm their capacity to cope. Compartmentalization is the unconscious psychological defense mechanism that assists with the avoidance of mental discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>The well known survival mechanisms of \u2018fight and flight\u2019 are part of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. Dissociation is considered to be part of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system \u2013 adding three additional responses to the well known \u2018freeze\u2019 response. These mechanisms are known as \u2018fright, flag, and faint\u2019.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fright response is described as toxic immobility \u2013 inability to move or scream, numbness and insensitivity to pain without losing consciousness, experiencing an out of body sensation \u2013 known as depersonalization.<\/li>\n<li>Flag response is described as the loss of perception of sound, sight, and feelings that what is happening around you isn\u2019t real \u2013 known as derealization.<br \/>\nFaint response is described as an emotional response to disgust \u2013 triggering a vagus nerve dysregulation which promotes nausea, vomiting, and fainting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases with those who have endured childhood sexual abuse it is reported that individuals experience a symptom known as analgesia, or the inability to feel pain.<\/p>\n<p>When healing from traumatic memories it is essential to connect to your emotional and somatic (body) responses in a safe environment. Operating in your \u201cwindow of tolerance\u201d is crucial when working on processing traumatic events. This is the optimal zone of your nervous system arousal \u2013 where you are able to respond effectively to your emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Therapy that is focused on mindfulness \u2013 staying in the present moment, somatic processing, and a trauma-focused psychotherapy model is recommended.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;We&#8217;re Here to Help You&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;white&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Request an Appointment&#8221; btn_shape=&#8221;round&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1622656120439{background-color: #2f3068 !important;}&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fnamhs.com%2Fappointment-requests%2F|title:Request%20an%20Appointment&#8221;]<a class=\"text-white\">If you or someone you know is in need of treatment for Dissociative Disorders, contact us today.<\/a>[\/vc_cta][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15em&#8221;][vc_column_text el_id=&#8221;all-services&#8221;] Dissociative Disorders [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;3em&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13395&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text] What Are Dissociative Disorders?
