Dissociation during an attack: what is it?
Dissociation is the sense of 'leaving your body' during an attack. An extreme psycho-neurological protective response — the brain distances the victim from suffering. 25-50% of rape victims experience dissociation (Möller 2017).
Porque acontece — o mecanismo
Mechanism: partial disconnect between parietal cortex (self-sense) and limbic system (emotion). Result: victim sees 'from outside', loses body sensation, sometimes memory of the event. Effective protection but complicates recovery.
Como o Sistema Avikzar lhe responde
Bodywork post-dissociation is essential: reconnect body to brain via slow, conscious, safe movement. Yehouda works with psychotrauma specialists for these cases.
