What is dissociation?

This describes a psychological state in which your level of consciousness is altered and you are zoned out.

This can feel like you are watching yourself in a movie or feeling like a ghost moved your keys.

Who dissociates?

Everyone dissociates to some extent.
We all lose focus of time or tasks.

Dissociative disorders are created through an individual brain response to overwhelming distress or emotional input. This is a survival instinct.
