Ever find yourself driving home and suddenly thinking, “Wait… how did I even get here?” That’s dissociation in action. In this episode, we’re unpacking what dissociation really is, why our brains do it, and how it’s sometimes more friend than foe. We’ll talk about the ways dissociation protects us, the moments it trips us up, and how to come back to the present when your mind has basically hit the “autopilot” button.
