Usually, dissociation is combined with other psychological diagnoses. I work with many of these individuals. It is tasking to say the least as I, a layman, have to google ways to work with them. lol
Yes it can be trauma based. I do have access to previous possible trauma.
@Soultender for example subspace is technically on a dissociative spectrum but it's an induced state brought on by a combination of specific naturally occurring chemicals. It's not a response to negative trauma but rather the body naturally responding to positive stress. So it's not an indicator of a disorder ... it's just part of a phase or process in how the mind and body work together for or against you depending on the circumstances.
Like I said, I'm a layman. I work in corrections. No amount of training can be given. And I've received none on medical.
@Soultender there always room for knowledge ❤️ 👍🏾
@Soultender dissociation is generally a spectrum of states or phases and doesn't, on its own, automatically indicate any kind of diagnosis. Reaching any diagnosis of any kind of dissociative disorder is based on gathering a lot of information in addition to understanding the reason for the states to begin with.
