[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588192, member: 14557"] MWM: That could be an idea. What I have read about dissociation it seems that proneness to it is indeed hereditary and 'in the wiring.' There are people who will not get dissociative in any case and people to whom it happens much easier than to most. It is continuum and considering that I do have lots of nonpathological dissociation experiences (spacing out while driving a car and not remembering later what happened during the drive, experiencing an altered time, when for example falling (it can be a really long part of the second it takes from feeling your foot to slip and before hitting ground), very vivid memories triggered by a smell or sound or taste etc.) and that I suspect my father may well suffer also PTSD with dissociative symptoms along with Borderline (BPD) (no, I don't know his official diagnosis for sure) and that both my grandpa and grandma (on my mother's side) have told about dissociative experiences and symptoms due wartime, it is not at all farfetched that difficult child is genetically disposed react the trauma he experienced with strong dissociative symptoms. That reacting that way is just part of his wiring and something he of course have to learn to deal with but still just a coping mechanism typical to him due his wiring. From how difficult child talked about this to me, I think that demystifying, matter of fact approach is important to him, when trying to cope with these symptoms. For him it seems to help when he considers it just an annoying way his brain does tricks to him when overwhelmed, nothing more. I think it is best if I (and husband) are able to take his lead on that and react the same way. [/QUOTE]
