Ptsd Related Dissociation – Alternative Cures?
I suffer from PTSD related dissociation – NOT MPD or DID, just on the dissociative spectrum. Does anyone with experience in this have recommendations for alternative methods to combat the dissociativeness? I already meditate, pray, and use neroli oil. Other ideas?
Nearly all of us have known what I call the “garden variety” of dissociation. We drive home from work listening to the radio and once we get home, we would not be able to say much about what we saw or that we may have heard the geese honking above us. There was no threat but we dissociated anyway.
Dissociation is a normal response to a serious threat.
· You may feel separated from your body or emotions.
· Sense of time becomes distorted or people and places seem unfamiliar.
· Dissociation usually happens beyond your control and you do it to protect yourself from pain and extreme fear.
· To help others who are dissociated, keep them from further harm and do not expect them to think very clearly.
Your therapist may recommend using hypnosis, which is sometimes referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, as part of your treatment for a dissociative disorder.
Hypnosis creates a state of deep relaxation and quiets the mind. When you’re hypnotized, you can concentrate intensely on a specific thought, memory, feeling or sensation while blocking out distractions. Because you’re more open than usual to suggestions while under hypnosis, there is some controversy that therapists may unintentionally “implant” false memories by suggestion. However, when conducted under the care of a trained therapist, hypnosis is generally safe as a complementary treatment method.
Take care as always
What about hypnosis or EMDR? I’ve found hypnosis extremely helpful for my dissociation. EMDR is supposed to be quite helpful for PTSD, which should then help diminish your dissociative symptoms. -Neb
