“What about your family? Where are they?”
"I don’t – I don’t –“
“It’s okay. It’s normal to feel this way after what happened to you. Breathe. Don’t try to rush your thoughts.”
“It was a date that turned into rape. NO means NO.”

“Love”…
Maybe we feel empty because we left pieces of ourselves in everything we used to love.

Dissociation! It’s really hard to define, and it’s even more difficult to notice when you’re doing it. Everybody experiences it just a little bit differently, but it’s something that can and should be managed with a little bit of mindfulness (noticing how you’re feeling without judging yourself for your feelings) and practice. I’ll make another post soon with a few clips from movies and tv that have characters dissociate since they’re great examples. Check back soon! :)

All about EMDR! A lot of people have been asking me how it works, so I made a silly little comic doodle on Illustrator (just with my mouse, sorry it’s sloppy) about my experiences with it. *I am by no means a doctor, so please do some research on your own before making any decisions to do EMDR!*
I’ve also seen a lot of videos on Youtube of “DIY EMDR,” I would VERY STRONGLY recommend NOT using those. EMDR opens your emotional brain up so fully that it’s very overwhelming, and having a trained professional there to assist you is invaluable.
Hey, friends! Mod Coral here, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD a month and a half ago, and I’ve started a blog detailing the healing process so far! :)

In this video I’m talking you through two forms of dissociation: Depersonalization and Derealization (also known as DPDR). In looking at depersonalization disorder and derealization disorder we’ll explore: what it is, the symptoms and coping skills. If you’re looking for DPDR symptoms or DPDR recovery or just depersonalization recovery or derealization recovery, then make sure you to pay attention as we take a closer look.

I’m back with another form of Dissociation: Dissociative Amnesia. You may commonly ask yourself why you can’t remember things? Or do you have memory loss? These could be signs of dissociative amnesia, a common type of dissociation that differs from other types like maladaptive daydreaming, depersonalization and derealization. In this video I’m talking you through what is dissociative amnesia, types of dissociative amnesia and treatment of dissociative amnesia. What is Dissociative Amnesia & and what are the treatment options? Frequently I am asked questions like this: Why can’t I remember my childhood? What does it mean that I don’t remember? Does trauma cause memory loss?

In this video I’m talking about one form of Dissociation, Maladaptive Daydreaming. Recently, I made the video 5 General Types Of Dissociation & How To Deal With Them (linked below) and many of you asked for me to do deep dives into each type. This first video is part of a series and I’m speaking to Maladaptive Daydreaming. Is Maladaptive Daydreaming bad? Is it good for you? Maladaptive Daydreaming help, how to best manage it, and so much more. Make sure you wait until the end to see how to best manage this form of dissociation. And let me know in the comments which form of dissociation you want to see a deep dive on next.

Three years ago I made a video on Overcoming Childhood Emotional Neglect (see link below). Since I released that video, it has received over 6,600 comments! With all of these comments and questions, I decided to make a follow-up video to further talk about some of these themes. Want another video like this?

In this video I’m talking about the 5 types of dissociation AND how to deal with them. I’ll speak to these 5 common types: maladaptive daydreaming, dissociative identity disorder, depersonalization, derealization and dissociative amnesia. I’ll also talk about what dissociation is like. So whether you’re wondering what is dissociation ? or what is dissociation like ? or dissociation help ? or what types of dissociation , I am here to answer your questions.
I made a video a month ago about 7 ways religion can be traumatizing (see link below). You guys left a lot of comments (798 to be exact) and so many of them were such great points, I wanted to expand on them to help viewers. One of the comments I saw a lot over and over were regarding shame and religion, or religious shame, and why churches shame us into behaving a certain way. Another comment I saw a lot was around LGBTQ+ religious questions, whether your minister told you that being gay was a lie, or you weren’t accepted in your church for being a member of the LGBTQ+ community. As someone who grew up in a very religious household, and very active in church, I found the benefits of church. But I also see that religious trauma syndrome is a real thing, and I have researched and heard so many stories of it. And I often get questions: do I have religious trauma? Signs of religious trauma? Religious trauma symptoms? or how do I leave a church? At the end of the day, religion should make us feel more connected to self and others, and if your church is making you feel hurt or separate, then it may be time to walk away.
