Dissociation - A Narcissistic Abuse Defense Mechanism

Victims of Narcissistic Abuse will learn to detach from their environment due to the inability to deal with painful stimuli by dissociating. Like the word implies, dissociation is when victims dissociate from their immediate surroundings and escape inward. They often look like they are spacing out and in reality, they are escaping into a fantasy wonderland where the threat is no longer. In order to work through this defense, victims must learn to stay present and work through the wounds and extreme pain so they can stay present without running away. This entails rigorous confrontation with personal history and wounding experiences as well as the truth about the very reality of what occurred.
