Disembodimentdisembodiment

Disembodiment is a person losing contact with their body and experiencing it from a distance. In this state a person may struggle to notice their bodily sensations and may feel themselves to be not inside their body but as if outside it. This disconnection is often an adaptation related to not feeling the body as safe. Reestablishing contact with the body is a gentle and patient process. When this matter requires deeper support, the accompaniment of a trained professional is valuable.
