On today's episode of Yours Mentally we talk about dissociation and how it can affect one's mental health. This episode is in conversation with Jahan Ara Chughtai who is a Trauma Informed Psychotherapist.

TW: Mention of physical and emotional abuse.

We begin the episode by asking Jahan what is dissociation and is it a symptom of a disorder or a disorder in itself?
We then ask her what are the causes of dissociation?
We also discuss what exactly does one feel when they dissociate?
We also ask if one is aware of the fact that they have dissociated or is there a gap in their memory?
We also talk about the  gender differences seen in dissociation.
We then ask what is the difference between dissociation and derealization?
Lastly, we ask her how can one help someone who is dissociating and what treatments are available for dissociation?
