Understanding Why Your Child is Dissociating
Manage episode 296775514 series 2863404
A child in a state of dissociation can be a strange and disturbing thing to witness.
In this week's edition, Jessica Jackson - whose own small son has a tendency to dissociate - talks us through why this happens and above all, what to do when it does.
Dissociating can best be described as mentally leaving the room.
If you are parenting a traumatized child you may be aware that they seem to go into a trance and be completely unaware of what is happening around them.
This could well be a repeat of the survival mechanism that served them well during times of extreme stress before they joined your family.
We don't always know what triggers them into displaying dissociation in what are now safe and happy homes - but they can hurt themselves during such episodes and Jessica gives us some excellent coping strategies.
Concerned parents who are also members of the NATP (part of COECT's umbrella group) are welcome to contact us for one to one help.
