Ep. 116 In this episode, therapist Patrick Martin breaks down the complex topic of derealization and its implications for therapy.
Breht dies and has a near-death experience, Dave struggles with derealization (and busting), then the boys talk politics and reflect on the election. After that, they discuss types of people they'd like to purge the planet of and different types of human intelligence, then Breht's son joins the show to reveal the TRUE Breht, and it ain't pretty... After that, the boys stare death in the face and are wiped off the face of the planet.

This week we are talking about depersonalization, derealization, otherwise known as dissociation. We will also discuss DID or dissociative identity disorder, how we can build our sense of self, if we can love therapy too much, and why we can feel awkward after disclosing our self injury. Finally, we will talk about whether or not we can be so damaged that no amount of therapy can help us. Ask Kati Anything ep.239 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Audience questions: 1. I struggle with persistent depersonalisation and derealisation. I tried a lot of things over the years (therapy, different mindfulness practices, temperature play, full body shakes, yoga, meditation, being aware of my body etc.) and nothing is working. I know it gets worse when I am overwhelmed or tired or hungry, but it's nearly happening 24/7 even if I am happy and relaxed and on holidays for example. It doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it gets really bad, I think when I also start panicking. Then I feel like I can't see properly and feel so far gone, that it feels super scary. I know dissociation is not scary and it's my body's way to protect me, but when it is so severe, it feels absolutely horrible. Do you have any tips for me? 01:14 2. I am a survivor of CSA and have CPTSD. I don't think I have DID however, why do I have different “voices” that come out at different times in ways I cannot control? My friends say I have 2 different “voices” one is higher pitched and small, and the other is deeper and more grown-up. Some things can for sure trigger it like feeling afraid or ashamed but it doesn't always trigger it. Sometimes I am... 17:26 3. How to build a sense of self when no sense (or only a weak sense) of self has ever existed. In this scenario there is no "rebuilding" of the self, because it never existed as a whole in the past. There's nothing to be rebuilt because it hasn't been built yet. Is there any relevant research that looks at outcomes for individuals who developed a sense of self for the very first time in adulthood... 21:57 4. I love therapy. I know it's supposed to be difficult and a lot of people are “scared” to work on themselves in therapy but I absolutely love it. My therapist told me I am very analytical and symptom focused, I constantly analyze every small behavior about myself and I can't seem to stop. I constantly need to make sense of everything. I also love the attention that she gives me and I love that she cares about me. I wish I could see her all day every day. Is it normal to love therapy this much? 25:41 5. I just recently told a friend about my self-harming and now I feel really awkward. I wanted to know, why do I feel so embarrassed when near this friend now? 30:59 6. I hope this makes sense to you. It is something I've been wondering about. Is it possible to be so severely damaged by your past that no matter how much therapy you got that you never really heal? Because after all the therapy I got I still have so many trigger points. Is it because I've been traumatized over and over? Is it because of all sorts of abuse over and over? Am I not supposed to get over it by now? 33:30 #podcast #psychology #katimorton PUBLISHED BOOKS Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? https://geni.us/sva4iUY ONLINE THERAPY While I do not currently offer online therapy, BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, online therapist: https://betterhelp.com/kati (enjoy 10% off your first month) SOCIAL YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/katimorton X https://twitter.com/KatiMorton TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@katimortonInstagram https://www.instagram.com/katimorton Patreon https://www.katimorton.com/kati-morton-patreon/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/katimorton1/ Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/katimorton1/ PARTNERSHIPS Linnea Toney linnea@underscoretalent.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/askkatianything/support

In our journey of healing through mental health battles, many can find they are struggling to connect to their emotions and even to the world around them.

Have you ever felt detached from your own life? Disconnected from yourself? Like you were an outsider looking in at your own existence? Going through the motions, emotionally numb, emotionally disconnected from people you care about? Or maybe you've looked at your environment and everything appears foggy? You feel unable to see your surroundings accurately, they lack vividness and coloring? Things don't seem real? Does this get in the way of your relationships and work? Or disrupt other daily activities? Temporary feelings of depersonalization and derealization are common. About one half of people have felt detached from themselves (depersonalization) or from their surroundings (derealization) at one time or another. But if this is happening more frequently, or becomes a common occurrence; then you may be suffering from depersonalization-derealization disorder. Depersonalization-derealization disorder (DP/DR) is a mental health condition where you feel disconnected from your body, your feelings and your environment. It tends to come and go over a long period of time, causing much distress and anxiety. Depersonalization-derealization disorder is thought to be caused by trauma or extreme stress. Adverse early childhood experiences, specifically emotional abuse and neglect, have been linked to the development of depersonalization symptoms. Feelings of depersonalization and derealization are common from significant stress or panic attacks. Individuals may remain in a depersonalized state for the duration of a typical panic attack. However, in some cases, the dissociated state may last for hours, days, weeks, or even months at a time. In rare cases, symptoms of a single episode can last for years. Swamy G is a counselor who regularly writes about depersonalization (DP) and derealization (DR) at https://acoachcalledlife.com/ Having personally gone through the challenges of DP/DR and overcoming them, he created a comprehensive online program to help others fully recover from DP/DR. In this conversation, you'll learn how the disorder is more common than you might think, and how and why many of us can struggle from depersonalization and derealization during our life. You'll also learn all about the symptoms and stress factors, what to do if someone you care about might be suffering from, and how, with time and tools, we can recover.

What is a challenging psychedelic experience? It turns out that it's incredibly subjective. What one person finds challenging or bad, another may see as a growth opportunity.But the current rhetoric around psychedelics presents them as mostly always good, positive, healing and helpful experiences. Jules Evans is dedicated to shining a light on the harms, challenges and dangers of psychedelics.In this episode, Jules' takes us through the most common post-trip challenges and offer support for those navigating these challenges. These include but are not limited to: Derealization and depersonalization, post-ecstatic blues, and alienation. We also have a fascinating conversation around sense making, when psychedelics ignite an existential paradigm shift, and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences.Jules is a a researcher, writer, historian of ideas and practical philosopher. He is interested in ideas and practices which help being suffer less and flourish more. He has written two books, and is currently devoting his energy to the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project — researching psychedelic harm reduction, ethics and integration. They are currently researching post-trip difficulties and what helps people deal with them.Topics Covered:Jules' traumatic encounter with psychedelicsThe good and bad of ecstatic experiencesHow we relate to ecstatic experiencesAre challenging trips really always the most valuable?What constitutes a “challenging” or “bad” trip?Possible predictive factors for challenging experiences with psychedelicsDerealization and depersonalization after psychedelic experiencesDealing with “post-ecstatic blues” after peak experiencesAlienation and lack of connection after psychedelic experiencesWhen psychedelics ignite an existential shiftOver-certainty and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiencesShow Links:Kanna Extract Co - LANA to save 10%1:1 Coaching ApplicationJules' BooksChallenging Psychedelic Experiences ProjectEscasticintergration.org (Jules' newsletter)Full Show Notes This episode was produced in collaboration with FWI Media.

Hello friends! In Episode 377, we tackle two profound listener questions that shed light on unique mental health and relationship challenges. Our first discussion revolves around a listener gearing up for couples therapy. They share their apprehension about conveying years of experiences within the confines of therapy sessions. We explore strategies for effective communication, the importance of preparation, and utilizing therapy as a starting point rather than a complete solution. The conversation also touches on the usefulness of additional resources like therapy workbooks and individual therapy in enhancing the couples therapy experience. The second question comes from a 23-year-old male experiencing derealization, depersonalization, and occasional panic attacks. These symptoms make him feel detached from his environment and himself, as if living in an unreal world. We dive into understanding these phenomena, identifying possible triggers, and discussing various coping methods. These include sensory grounding techniques, mindfulness practices, and the potential roles of therapy and medication in managing these dissociative experiences. Your questions continue to add depth and insight to our discussions on mental health. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to share, please send them to duffthepsych@gmail.com.

Depersonalization and Derealization - AKA "DP/DR" This week Drew and Josh get into the nuts and bolts of this most common anxiety and stress response. This is the sense that you're not real, that you're detached from yourself, or that the world around you suddenly feels unreal or out of reach. As scary as this experience is, and as much as it is difficult to face, it is not permanent or dangerous and can't actually harm you. Adopting a more accepting and tolerant approach to DP/DR - allowing it to be there without fighting so hard or trying to figure it out - helps your brain learn that it's OK to leave it alone. Over time this means you're not really frightened of the sensation any longer which makes it far less likely to hang around like it does now. ---- ----- Want to ask us questions, share your wins, or get more information about Josh, Drew, and the Disordered podcast?

I also share what steps you can start to take to recover from it and mistakes to avoid when you're on this journey. This symptom can often be described as one of the scariest for people to experience when they have anxiety, and unfortunately it's not often talked about enough. So I'll let you know tips and strategies of what you can do to get on the right path of getting out of the DP/DR cycle. This episode will leave you feeling hopeful and determined!

Symptoms like depersonalization, derealization, dissociation, delusions, and hallucinations can be incredibly disturbing. They are often thought of as being signs of a psychotic disorder or severe trauma, but if these symptoms only occur during depressive episodes, they may actually be part of a mood disorder. We can also experience disconnections from reality because of intense psychological distress, including periods of prolonged or significantly heightened anxiety. Dissociation is somewhat like the mind's version of going into shock. It's a temporary anesthetic to protect us from the immense emotional pain that we're experiencing. The prefrontal cortex, the very front most region of the brain, is responsible for our orientation to person, place, and time. When activity in the frontal lobe decreases, we lose some (or all) of this ability to orient to these anchors. This can be terrifying or disturbing if you don't know what it is or don't realize that it's temporary and something that is, to some degree, supposed to happen. Understanding what all of these processes are and the neurological reasons for them makes them a lot less scary. Hopefully that's what you get from this episode. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-eilers/support

FREE Grounding Skills Course here: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/grounding-skills-for-anxiety-stress-and-ptsd Do you ever feel numb? Detached? Like you're completely separate from your body or like you're floating above it, watching yourself like you aren't even real? Or does the world around you sometimes feel foggy? Dreamlike? Or like time is moving super fast or super slowly? These are all signs of dissociation, derealization, or depersonalization. These three terms all have some overlap in symptoms. In this podcast, you'll learn to identify the triggers and internal signs leading up to dissociation and when you have a framework to understand why dissociation happens, then you can be more gentle with yourself and learn skills to manage overwhelming situations more adaptively and flexibly and be more resilient.

In this episode, I chat with mental health advocate and visual artist Ashley Wright. Based in Southern California, Ashley describes herself as a mental health artist, focusing on the healing power and therapeutic quality of the creative process. Ashley openly shares her journey with CPTSD and shares valuable advice for artists who face similar struggles. Join us for a raw, personal, and deeply impactful discussion surrounding the relationship between art and mental health. Here's what we discuss:1. The importance of being gentle with yourself if you have a mental health condition and why it's essential to let go of guilt or shame if you need to pause on making your art.2. Why Ashley centers her work on perception and reality in relation to derealization, dissociation, and maladaptive daydreaming.3. What inspired Ashley to focus on landscape in her work, and why she believes it's important to create your own rules.4. The reasons why we believe it's imperative to enjoy the creative process and return to that child-like place of creating work with wonder, joy, and love (without worrying so much about the end result!)About Ashley:Ashley's passion for the arts has been present ever since her childhood and has expanded across multiple mediums. It started with drawing and then quickly expanded into choir, band, orchestra, and theater. It wasn't until her senior year of her BA in Music at the University of Redlands where Ashley took a painting class for the first time and she hasn't stopped painting since then.Being tucked away in the Inland Empire, Ashley is surrounded by the beautiful San Bernardino National Forest, Joshua Tree National Park, Santa Rosa Wilderness, and the Angeles National Forest. These natural landscapes have played a huge part in her life and continue to inspire her art. Much of the imagery Ashley's paintings are directly inspired by her surroundings, the 80s and 90s nostalgia, sci-fi, and pop culture.Ashley's mental health is an important part of her life and directly impacts and represents her art. She has struggled with CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). CPTSD comes with Dissociation, Derealization, and Maladaptive Daydreaming. These coping mechanisms helped saved Ashley's life but living with them can feel like you constantly have one foot in reality and one foot out. These concepts influence Ashley's art through variance in vibrancy, perception, style, and texture.

In this episode of Walking on Feathers, Medium Kareen interviews Lily Sais, examining her journey from a self-proclaimed “former anxious person” to an anxiety coach and three principles practitioner. Kareen and Lily reflect on the Spirit and the universe's energy bringing them together, as they share many experiences – such as experience with anxiety, depersonalization, and derealization – and are able to learn valuable lessons in life and spirituality.Medium Kareen and Lily then dive into what the three principles of understanding are and what they can do for one's mental state. These principles impact mental health, spirituality, and one's ability to perceive their place in the universe. The principles of understanding are: Consciousness (understanding we are alive), Mind (understanding the energy and life force behind our life), and Thought (understanding that everyone thinks different types of thoughts). This leads to one of Lily's foundational revelations that thoughts are neutral. The idea that thoughts are neutral allows one to let go and trust the universal powers at work in one's spirit and release anxiety.Medium Kareen Website and Social Media Information:www.mediumkareen.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mediumkareen?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumkareenYouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCDgvAzxdI_NJzs89NO_bxEgPinterest: https://pin.it/6D26Am7Lily Sais Website and Social Media Information:www.peace-from-within.comInstragram: https://instagram.com/_peacefromwithin?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc=TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@peacefromwithinYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@LilySaispeacefromwithin

Dealing with depersonalization can be a challenge. Sometimes, it feels like you are living in a dream and everything is not real. It's hard to focus on anything when you feel this way. You may find it difficult to connect with other people and experience the world around you. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing depersonalization, recognizing and accepting that life is lived in the present moment can be a helpful start. Today, we find ways to become Real. Present. Alive.

Have you ever felt detached from the world, or felt like you don't belong in your own body when you look down at your hands? The psychological disorder depersonalization and derealization is this phenomenon more intense and prolonged. Depersonalization is when you feel cut off from yourself, and derealization is when you feel cut off from the world. Both the causes and treatment methods for both depersonalization and derealization are similar. To get diagnosed for this disorder, common processes undertaken include getting a doctor's evaluation, questionnaire tests, and structured interviews. Many patients often undergo psychotherapy to get treated for depersonalization and derealization.
What if nothing around you felt real? What if it felt like everything - mentally, emotionally, even physically - didn't actually exist? Today's guest is Emily, who tells her story of depersonalization/derealization, depressions and grief.

And if you really like Your Anxiety Toolkit, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (maybe even two). EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION This is Your Anxiety Toolkit - Episode 227. Welcome back, everybody. I am so grateful to have this time with you. As you know, I promised this year would be the year I doubled down and get really into the nitty-gritty of some of the topics that people don't talk enough about regarding anxiety. Today is so in line with that value Today, we are talking about what is derealization and depersonalization. These are two what I would consider symptoms of anxiety. I see it all the time in my practice. I see it reported and commented all the time on Instagram. If you follow me on Instagram, we put out tons of free information there as well. This is such an important topic. And for some reason, we aren't talking about these two topics enough. My goal today is actually to give you a 101 on derealization and a 101 on depersonalization. We can touch upon derealization disorder and depersonalization disorder as well, but at the end, I want to give you as many tools as I can to point you in the right direction. Before we do that, let's do the “I did a hard thing,” because we love that, right? The “I did a hard thing” is a segment where people submit the hard things they're doing. The main reason I do this is because, number one, you're my family. We're all in this together. But number two, often people, many years ago when I started the podcast, people were like, when I started saying it's a beautiful day to do hard things, which I say all the time, a lot of people were saying, “But how hard does it have to be? And how do I handle the hard things? Can you give me an example?” And so, these have been just such a wonderful way to share how other people are doing hard things. This one was submitted anonymously, and they said: “I've struggled with suicidal ideation for a very long time. And after years of therapy, self-discovery, and lots of hard work, I'm finally accepting that I am better off in the world than out of it.” Now I just have to take a deep breath and nearly cry because this is seriously the hard work. Sometimes when we're talking about “I did a hard thing,” we're talking about facing one small thing or one large thing, but I really want to honor Anonymous here and all of you who are doing this really long-term work and deep, deep work around really acknowledging how important you are and how much the world needs you in it and on it. So anonymous, I love you. You are amazing. I have such respect for the work that you've done and are doing, and thank you. Again. I think we don't talk about suicidal ideation enough either. In fact, I should really do an episode on that as well. I respect you and I'm so grateful you submitted this week. Okay, here we go. I have some notes, which I rarely use notes for episodes, but I didn't want to miss anything. I've got so much I want to share. I will do my best to break this down into, like I said, a 101, small bite-size helpful tools. You will hear me, as I talk, taking little deep breaths and that's because I have to practice slowing down. Just a little off-topic, when I'm doing podcasts, I get so geeked out that my brain races, and I'm all over the place and I'm talking fast and I have to slow down, “Kimberley, pump the breaks, lady.” Let's together take a breath... and let's just be together. First let's talk about derealization. The definition of derealization is that derealization is a mental state or a psychological experience, it could also be a physiological experience, where things feel unreal. Not like, “Oh, that's totally unreal, man. Amazing.” I'm talking where they don't feel real. When you have derealization, you might feel detached from your surroundings. You don't feel connected to what's going on around you, and people and objects may also seem unreal. Often people, when they have derealization or derealization disorder, feel like they're going crazy. Actually, they feel like they're going crazy. Not just the term that people use on the street. They actually feel like they're losing touch with reality. When we talk about derealization disorder, we'll talk about that here in a little bit, but we could use them interchangeably. Lots of people have derealization without having the disorder, but to have derealization disorder, you have to experience derealization. So I'm including them both there. Now the prevalence of derealization, I wanted to just give you this information because I felt it was very validating. I myself struggle with derealization and depersonalization. It was really validating for me to hear that more than half, more than 50% of people may have this disconnection from reality at least once in their lifetime. 2% of people experience it enough for it to become some kind of disorder, just like derealization disorder or even a dissociative disorder like amnesia. If you're concerned, you can go speak with your doctor or your therapist, or a licensed therapist for an assessment if you're concerned about it. A lot of people who I have seen have already been to the doctor, gotten cleared. Schizophrenic is often a very big concern. People often feel that they've been misdiagnosed. Now derealization is similar, but distinctly different from depersonalization, which we would talk about here soon. Some symptoms of derealization include feelings of being unfamiliar with your surroundings. You feel like you've never been there before, or you may feel like you're living in a movie or a dream. You may feel emotionally disconnected from your loved ones or colleagues or friends. You just feel very numb. Like I said, you're just very out of order. Things feel very strange. Your surroundings and the environment also may appear distorted, blurry, colorless, two-dimensional, or artificial. I remember the first time I ever had derealization. I was sitting across from a client and I was an intern. I was very anxious. I've talked about this on the podcast before. I was sitting across from them and all of a sudden, their body looked like a caricature of themselves. The caricature is where their body is really small and their head is huge. I was looking at my client, trying to be a therapist, and I'm thinking what happened. All of a sudden, their neck was very, very small and short and their head looked gigantic. It looked like a drawing, not three-dimensional, but two-dimensional. And that was so concerning to me. I freaked out. I got through the session. Thankfully, again, I had tools to use. But it was really scary. It actually brought on some panic later in that evening because it didn't go away for a little bit of time. Now, depersonalization, the definition of depersonalization involves feeling a detachment, not from your environment like in derealization, but from your own body and your thoughts and your feelings. Think of it like it's like you're watching yourself from an outsider. I always say it's like you're flying on the wall, looking at yourself, or it's like looking at a movie of yourself. Now, symptoms of depersonalization include feelings that you're an outsider observer, like I just said. You're disconnected to your body again. Others report that it feels like they're a robot and that they don't have control of their movements. Again, you feel like you're watching yourself and you don't have control of what's going to happen next. Another symptom of depersonalization may include the sense that your body and legs and arm appear distorted. They may feel enlarged or shrunken. Some people report that their head is wrapped in cotton. That's a different symptom. Another example I always use with my patients is often when I have depersonalization, which isn't very often anymore, is I'd look at my hand and I couldn't tell if it was my hand or not. I didn't feel like it was my hand. Again, really scary, can feel really concerning in the moment. Now you may also experience some numbness, whether that's emotional or physical. Some people say all of these symptoms are similar for derealization as well. You may feel like your memories lack emotion. Again, you're disconnected from your own experience. So, that can be an additional symptom of depersonalization. Now for both, I'm going to talk about them together now. For both, the duration of these symptoms may last just a few minutes, they can last a few hours. Some people, particularly if you have derealization disorder or depersonalization disorder, it can be days, weeks, and months. In that severity, I would encourage you to go and speak with a mental health provider who is trained and can assess you properly. Now, to be diagnosed with derealization or to be diagnosed with depersonalization, there is no lab test. There's no scan you can have. It requires a trained professional to review your symptoms and give you the diagnosis. You could probably, by listening to this, define for yourself whether you have the criteria to meet this classification. But if you're wanting to be sure, I strongly encourage you to seek professional help to get that diagnosis. Now, the prevalence of the struggles almost always start in late childhood or early adulthood. The statistics, this is why I have my notes today, the average age starts around 16. 95% of cases are diagnosed before the age of 25. Not always, but that has been the common statistics that they're showing. I think that's really helpful to know. Now, that being said, what do you do from here? The treatment of depersonalization and derealization is often CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Basically, what we do, and this is a lot of the work that you probably already have skills if you've listened to a lot of the podcast episodes – a lot of it is around practicing your mindfulness tool. The first thing I want to let you know is it doesn't mean you're going crazy. I totally get that. It feels like you are, but it doesn't. The good news is, when you can't stop appraising it as “I am going crazy,” you'll actually start to notice it's just a really strange feeling, but it doesn't mean anything is wrong. I once had a teen client who told me, he said he was laughing and we were giggling together. He said, “The crazy thing is some of my friends pay a lot of money to feel this way by using drugs,” and he says, “I have it for free. I have this strange feeling, this out-of-body experience. And I don't even have to be under the control of a drug or a substance.” He said, “When I looked at it from that perspective, I stopped appraising it as if it's dangerous.” And that was a game-changer for him to stop appraising it as if it is a dangerous problem. For me now, when I have derealization, it usually occurs when I'm driving. I used to panic that that meant I was going to crash. But then when I just said, “Okay, I'm just having a feeling and I'm going to let it be there.” I'm not going to do anything about it. I'm not going to judge it negatively. I'm going to allow it to rise and fall on its own. And I'm going to put all of my attention on just staying present. Now your brain is going to say, “Yeah, but present is bad. Present is terrible. Bad things are going to happen. What if you're going crazy?” And your job is actually to practice just letting those be thoughts, because that's what they are. They're thoughts. Just because you have them doesn't mean they're facts. Lots of people have derealization. The clients I've had who've had severe derealization and derealization and depersonalization disorder, they now say, “Yeah, it happens. No big deal. They just go about my day.” Now in the early stages of treatment, you're going to hate this idea, but it works, is we actually used to purposely induce this sensation so that they could practice tolerating the discomfort without responding in unhealthy ways or in compulsive ways. We would sit them down and spin them around in a chair. We would have them stare at the wall. We would have them look at really psychedelic YouTube videos where the colors and the patterns are all wavy like seventies, like psychedelic. And we would practice inducing the feeling. From there, they would practice willingly allowing the discomfort and going about their day, being gentle with themselves, engaging in the things they value. Of course, they might feel great, and that's okay. You can slow down a little and do what you need to do. But ultimately, when you have depersonalization and derealization, the goal is simply to do nothing at all. Crazy. When I tell my patients that, they're like, “Oh my goodness, you're either crazy or you're brilliant.” By the end, usually, they say that this treatment, not me, but the treatment is brilliant, because it teaches them not to be afraid of it and not to try and live their life avoiding it. I've had patients report that they've avoided things at great length just to avoid the experience of depersonalization and derealization. And when they avoid it, it just keeps them stuck and keeps them scared and keeps it happening more. The other thing I will add is, do not check to see if you're derealized or depersonalized, because just the act of checking for it, like a mental check, can actually bring on the symptoms. Now, that's easier said than done. Am I right? Yes, it's very hard. I know it's easy to say, “Just stop doing that.” But if you're engaging in a lot of checking behavior, sometimes it's helpful to catch when you are and bring yourself back to the present, do whatever disengagement skills you can use to get you back into the present moment. Again, we don't want to push the discomfort away, but we also don't want to give too much hyper attention to these sensations and symptoms. If you're struggling with these symptoms, go and see a mental health professional. You can quiz them, ask them if they have skills in this. Look on their website, see if they've got any information about it that will help you to get the help that you need. This is great. Like I said, this is what I call derealization and depersonalization 101. But there are many, many other tools that you can use to help manage this. One day I will do my best to create an online course about this that goes into detail so you have that, but for right now, I hope that this is helpful. Now, before we finish up, I'm going to do the review of the week. We have an amazing review here from Jessrabon621 and they said: “Amazing podcast. I absolutely love everything about this podcast.
