you're in survival mode, there's this tendency to disassociate. And disassociation isn't always like, "Ooh,
00:00:12
I'm floating above my body right now." Like, disassociation can look different depending on the situation, the age,

everything. It can look like overeating, under eating, overworking, over exercising, like all the overs,

right? I realized I have been dissociating from my life for a long time. So, a huge part of my process was
00:00:31
coming back into my body and doing very similar to like the guided meditation that you were talking about.
00:00:38
Like, just getting in touch with like the different parts of my body and kind of doing like that um
00:00:45
guided body meditation kind of thing.
