Like you're watching your life from the outside, floating through the motions, showing up for everyone else while quietly disappearing from yourself?If that hit a nerve, I need you to hear this: You’re not broken. You’re likely dissociating. And it’s way more common than we talk about—especially after divorce.In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, I’m breaking down what dissociation really is—not just “spacing out” but a full-on nervous system response to pain, overwhelm, and trauma.
