What Is Dissociative Disorder?

Dissociative disorder is a condition where a person feels disconnected from their thoughts, body, emotions, or memories. It’s often the mind’s natural way of protecting itself from overwhelming stress or trauma. In simple terms, dissociation can feel like you’re watching your life from the outside or like parts of you exist separately from the rest.

While dissociation can be confusing or even frightening, it’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s your brain’s way of keeping you safe when emotions or memories feel too painful. With the right support and online therapy, you can learn to feel present, grounded, and connected again.

  • Dissociative Amnesia – temporary memory loss about a specific time, event, or person.
  • Depersonalisation or Derealisation Disorder – feeling detached from your body or surroundings.
  • Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) – experiencing two or more distinct identities or personality states.

At PsychiCare, our trauma-informed online therapists use safe, evidence-based methods to help you heal gently from dissociation and rediscover a stable sense of self.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Dissociation

Dissociation can feel different for everyone. Some people describe it as being “numb,” “spaced out,” or watching life from outside their body. These experiences often appear after trauma, overwhelming stress, or emotional overload — and may come and go unexpectedly.

  • Feeling detached from your body, surroundings, or emotions
  • Sudden memory gaps or “lost time” that you can’t explain
  • Feeling as if you’re observing yourself from the outside
  • Hearing inner voices or sensing different identity states
  • Difficulty recalling personal events or conversations
  • Emotional numbness or feeling “unreal” during stress
  • Disconnection from loved ones or your own identity
  • Frequent daydreaming or zoning out under pressure

If you recognise several of these signs, you may be experiencing dissociation. You can take our simple online dissociative disorder self-check to understand your next step, or schedule a private assessment with one of our licensed therapists.

How Trauma Triggers Dissociation

Dissociation often begins as your mind’s way of protecting you. When an experience feels too painful or threatening to process, your brain may “disconnect” from it, helping you survive the moment, but leaving emotional fragments behind.

Many people develop dissociative symptoms after trauma, including childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or ongoing stress. In some cases, it appears alongside conditions such as PTSD or anxiety. This response isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s your nervous system’s way of saying, *“I can’t handle this right now.”*

Over time, this protective disconnection can feel isolating like living behind a glass wall or watching your own life from the outside. Through gentle, trauma-informed therapy, you can begin reconnecting safely with those parts of yourself that learned to hide to survive.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in Children and Teens

Dissociation can begin early in life, often as a coping response to emotional neglect, abuse, or prolonged stress. When children face situations that feel too unsafe, their minds may “separate” painful experiences into different parts, a survival response, not a flaw.

In children and teens, this may appear as mood swings, memory gaps, or sudden changes in tone or behaviour. Sometimes they talk about “another self” or seem like a completely different person for a short time.

  • Unexplained memory gaps or changes in daily behaviour
  • Speaking about “another self” or using different names
  • Sudden shifts in handwriting, tone, or preferences
  • Nightmares or fears linked to specific people or places
  • Periods of zoning out or emotional detachment

Early support can help children reconnect with safety and confidence. Our Child & Adolescent Clinic offers gentle, specialised online counselling for children and teens with dissociative symptoms.
