I feel like a computer that suddenly shut down !!! Sometimes I wake up and I don't know where I am ? I don't know if I'm awake or if I'm unconscious ? I'm in bed but I'm thinking and I'm aware of everything and I can't know if I'm awake or not ? I feel like I'm looking at myself from the corner of the room? This is how a patient with depersonalization and derealization disorder describes her depersonalization experience. ________________ Depersonalization/derealization disorder is a type of dissociative disorders, caused by changes or failures in consciousness, perception, and memory. During these episodes, you realize that your sense of disconnection is a real sensation in which your memory, sense of self, and emotions are dissipating without you being able to control yourself. This guided workbook provides you with a variety of therapeutic techniques and practical strategies to deeply explore the triggers that lead to depersonalization and derealization episodes and prevent them in a daily / weekly transformative way. Through regular practice, you will be able to maintain a solid foundation in reality and a close connection with yourself even in difficult times.
