The Psychosomatic Nature of Depersonalization and DerealizationĪnxiety and high stress can cause the manifestation of almost any physical symptoms. Anxiety management is only part of DP recovery. I am going to be adopting some techniques and principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you eliminate this anxiety related to DP.Īlthough I’m not talking about trauma in this article, its important for you to read the trauma article in order to have a more complete view of recovery. In this article I am going to be focusing in on these fearful thoughts or “cognitions”. By being afraid of the feeling of dissociation, we make the feeling of disconnection even worse. These fearful thoughts of going insane, of losing your soul, of being afraid of existence are all anxious components of DP. Likewise, distorted fearful thoughts in the present also contribute to feelings of DP. If we don’t address the trauma, then the DP continues. We call this form of memory stress “post traumatic stress”. As I explained in the trauma article, painful memories that are not consciously processed can pollute our nervous system in the present, causing DP symptoms. This anxiety is due to two things: trauma from the past and distorted thoughts in the present. I want you to think of DP as a dissociative disorder that contains within it many symptoms of anxiety. This anxiety is focused on existential issues, the self, and the strange feelings of DP.
The anxiety is the fear about these feelings. This dissociation is the feeling of disconnection from your self and your surroundings. DP is a dissociative disorder that is usually accompanied by lots of anxiety. If anxiety is part of DP, then is DP an anxiety disorder? In fact, many people first feel symptoms of DP after a panic attack. Sometimes we become so afraid that we reach a high state of anxiety known as a panic attack. Some times we get anxiety out of the blue and feel uneasy or afraid for no particular reason. Our muscles tense, our heart beats faster, we breathe more heavily.
