Is it relaxation or dissociation?
Dissociation is a defense mechanism, and can even be life saving,
but is not a sustainable strategy for ongoing stress.
When we are relaxing, we are HERE,
and when we are dissociating we are split apart to AVOID being here.
Relaxation is often followed by clarity,
while dissociation is often followed by confusion,
or even memory gaps.
To shift from dissociation to relaxation I can ask myself...
What do I feel when I put my hand on my heart and take a deep breath?
What do I notice when I flex my fingers and press my toes on the floor?
