A psychological process involving disconnection from thoughts, identity, consciousness, or memory, often in response to trauma.
From Latin 'dissociare' meaning 'to separate,' from 'dis-' (apart) + 'sociare' (to unite, associate).
Dissociation is your mind's emergency exit — when things get overwhelming, it detaches to protect you, like your soul stepping outside your body.
