I was describing to my IFS fellow traveler, feeling dense disconnected confused and heavy after having had an hour long conversation with my dad. I was very tempted to make him the one responsible for how I was feeling. My friends stops me and asks. Have you ever heard of dissociation? Parts in me went of course I have but what does that have to do with what I am talking about? Then she continues and says is it possible that parts in you are detecting that some part in your system are not feeling safe around your dad? I responded yes it is. Then she went on, some parts who don’t feel safe in situations have a role to go on hiding and dissociate. Once blended with parts that feels unsafe and dissociate we no longer feel center in Self and grounded we are not in our in our body or our mind we are flying and hiding like a ghost would. Once we unblende from the part we rerenter ourself and feel what you described dizzy confused out of source and so on…..
