Feeling Numb, Floaty, or Shut Down? It Might Be Dissociation

Ever felt like you’re floating through life, watching it all happen from the outside? That might be dissociation—and no, it's not as scary as it sounds

In this episode, Sarah and Casey unpack what dissociation really is (hint: it’s more common than you think). They explore how it shows up across a spectrum, from zoning out during conversations to feeling completely disconnected from your body—and why these responses make so much sense in the context of trauma.

You'll hear:

• How dissociation functions as protection, not pathology
• Ways it can show up in daily life without you realizing
• Personal stories from Sarah and Casey’s own healing journeys
• Why reconnecting with your body takes time, care, and zero shame
