“When … essential structures are subjected to inescapable shock, the result may be confusion and agitation, or it may be emotional detachment, often accompanied by out-of-body experiences - the feeling your’e watching yourself from far away. In other words, trauma makes people feel like either some body else or like no body. In order to overcome trauma, you need help to get back in touch with your body, with your Self.”
Bessel Van Der Kolk - “The Body Keeps the Score”
