What do I do when I feel dissociated, spaced out, disconnected? (Somatic Experiencing)

When we feel dissociated, we can ground ourselves back in our body in many ways through using somatic experiencing resourcing techniques, putting a weighted blanket, smelling essential oils, etc.

Another option is to engage in intellectual conversation as a compensation to get out of the body if it is too overwhelming to be in the body at the time. It's important to work with a therapist if you experience dissociation. Over time, it will improve as we release more trauma energy from the body.
