- wallace_f 9y agoI think it can be an extremely useful tool, but need be applied carefully. It can be therapeutic when dealing with unwanted emotions, but unfortunately sometimes those emotions need to run their course--they're designed as self-defense mechanisms to protect ourselves. Disassociation at the wrong time can enable more problems, sadly.
- taurath 9y agoOh sure, and especially when you continue to use it after the situation has passed. That’s the more difficult part, of course.
