Disassociation as coping

How often are you in an extremely dull meeting or a political or heated session and all you want to do is be disconnected from it all?

You’re literally dreaming of being on a beach, in the bath, or in the woods with a book. You are nowhere close to being present in the meeting?

How often does this happen?

We often disassociate as a way to cope when we are in a shitty situation.

Perhaps a situation where we are not seen or heard so we just check out.

It happens to all of us.

But is that any way to be living your life?

I did it for years in my corporate job where I had to toe the line and make others happy. I was often seething inside because so much of it was bullshit.

If you are finding yourself in this place, I want you to start to take notes of how often it is happening. Ask yourself if you are either in a toxic environment or no longer finding joy in what you are doing.

What would it look like if you were present all day?

What would you rather be doing?

It might be as simple as a vulnerable conversation that pushed for change in that specific meeting, or it could mean a complete transformation of what you are doing to pay the bills.

I’m here to help you see what you really want. Do you want to make a change in your life, but it feels so damn scary? I’ve been there. It is scary. But we can be in the drivers seat and make change so we are no longer disassociating with our lives. I’d love to chat with you further so you can start to live freely and from your heart — not what you are supposed to do in that meeting.

Keep your inner and outer power
