Disconnection from self in the context of traumatic experience is a survival strategy that allows victims to disown and distance themselves from what is happening. But it comes at a cost: long-lasting shame and self-loathing, difficulty self-soothing, internal conflicts and struggles, and complications in relationships with others.

11.05
How Dissociation Facilitates Survival Under Threat and its Long-Term Repercussions
In normal life, dissociation aids peak performance, but in traumatic environments, it is the brain’s way of splitting off the traumatic event so humans can go forward as if everything is ‘fine.’ The painful repercussion of survival is fragmentation, self-rejection, self-attack, and self-alienation.

Befriending One’s Fragmented Selves: Learning to Recognize Painful Emotions as Communications from Parts
To re-connect to all aspects of one’s being requires recognition of the patterns of thoughts, feelings and physical reactions encapsulated in each part. Mindful observation and curiosity are usually easy for clients. Learning to interpret distress as the distress of a wounded part, rather than “my” distress, takes patience and practice.

Welcoming ‘Home’ Disowned Traumatized Parts: Visualization Techniques that Evoke Self-Compassion and Self-Connection
The use of guided visualization and imaginal techniques capitalize on the dissociative client’s ability to alter consciousness and makes possible an increasingly warm and empathic relationship to the parts that build self-compassion and self-acceptance.
