Publisher's summary

Embrace Life's Vibrancy: Dissociation Unraveled—Even If You've Struggled for Years. Discover Peaceful Clarity Without Endless Struggle.

Have you ever felt detached from your body, as if watching a movie of your life?

Do you struggle with memory lapses or feel like the world isn’t real?

This is dissociation, where boundaries between self and surroundings blur. About 75% experience dissociation at some point. It often emerges as a coping mechanism to trauma, profoundly impacting daily life, cognition, and relationships. If not addressed, it can increase vulnerability to further trauma.

This guide helps you explore dissociation's complexities, providing a roadmap to understanding, self-discovery, and healing. With practical strategies, you can work toward a more integrated and balanced self.

In this handbook, you will discover:

  • Steps to deal with dissociation: Understand and cope with your symptoms.
  • Therapeutic approaches: Discover talk therapy’s power in building self-awareness and resilience.
  • Personal crisis plan: Prepare with a ready-to-fill template for challenging times.
  • Cognitive restructuring techniques: Modify dysfunctional thoughts using Socratic questions and emotional regulation.
  • Proven grounding techniques: Use slow breathing and physical activity to manage panic.

Even if you feel lost, you can reclaim wholeness and rediscover yourself. Stability, identity, and healing are within reach, and this book supports you every step of the way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The audiobook combines personal anecdotes with expert knowledge, making it both relatable and informative. Anyone seeking to understand and heal from dissociation, offering hope and practical guidance for achieving mental well would definitely benefit from giving this audiobook a listen.

I enjoyed the narrator's presentation; it made it seem almost like a story instead of the important, almost clinic topic it is.

Feel Like Yourself Again With This Book

This is a book that offers insight and pathways of recovery for those struggle with dissociation. I experienced a lot of dissociation after repeated traumas in my teenage years. This book provided me a roadmap to getting back to feeling like myself again. It is carefully written, sensitive and accessible without being simplistic, whether or not you’re already familiar with psychological terminology, and its suggestions for transformation are empowering and potentially effective. Highly recommend for anyone feeling numb, checked out or like they aren't living in their body after experiencing trauma.

Navigating Dissociation

As a mental health nurse, I’ve worked with patients who experience dissociation, including one with multiple identities—a fascinating yet challenging reality. While dissociation can range from mild experiences like daydreaming to more severe forms like DID, not all dissociation involves multiple identities. Dissociation might manifest as detachment from reality or oneself and fragment life, making everyday tasks and relationships difficult. This audiobook offers practical tools to navigate this. The book covers therapeutic approaches and practices such as grounding techniques, like slow breathing, to manage panic. This guide is a lifeline for anyone facing the complexities of dissociation. The narration was soothing.
