Types of dissociation
1. Amnesia - this is when you can’t remember incidents or experiences that happened at a particular time, or when you can’t remember personal information.
2. Depersonalisation - a feeling that your body is unreal, changing or dissolving. It also involves out of body experiences, such as seeing yourself as if watching a movie or floating above.
3. Derealisation - the world around you seems unreal. You may see objects changing in shape, size or colour, or you may feel that other people are robots or generally unreal.
4. Identity confusion - feeling uncertain about who you are. You may feel as if there is a struggle within to define yourself.
5. Identity alteration - this is when there is a shift in your role or identity that changes your behaviour in ways that others would notice.
