hypothesis: dissociation is a circuit-breaker for feelings, as a last resort when other ways to regulate them fail and they just won't stop.

wherever that circuit happens to be.

@KitRedgrave Dissociation can be many things.

My own experience with dissociation is when my mind accelerates into light speed focusing on a task, and my headmates and I started tagging in and out of fronting at such speeds that we lose track of who we are, the rest of the world falls away and I neglect self care for a few hours.

Strangely enough, I regard that as a generally positive thing.
