DISSOCIATION – The Survival Exit

Dissociation is not disconnection. It’s protection.

That moment you left your body?

That wasn’t weakness, it was genius.

You learned to escape into the mind, the fantasy, the numbness

because your environment was too unsafe to be fully present in.

People say you’re “not here,” but they don’t understand…

You had to leave to survive.

But now…

That split self, that ghost of you floating above your own life

wants to come home.

The journey back into the body is tender.

It requires safety, ritual, gentle presence.

You don’t force the return.

You invite it.

Coming home to your body isn’t about being productive.

It’s about being whole.
