MYM – What is Dissociation?

What is dissociation? It occurs when we become emotionally detached from our surroundings. Some get it when public speaking, and feel like they are outside their body, removed from what is happening. Why does dissociation happen, and who does it happen to?  If you have any questions or comments, email Ian and James at ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠ .
