I'm very interested in dissociation, having spent way too long there.
It was a carryover of the lack of psychological seperateness of the family life I knew.
So my problems with learning how to live seperately were always going to be there, complicated by drug use (esp. benzos).Fortunately I was disaffected with psychiatry once it was clear they were not in the soul doctor business, and I hacked off to a Winnicottian therapist.
In a different age I might have gone into the Church and found something there suitable for one with fragile ego boundaries.Although, to correct the record a little, once I did some therapy on low dose acid with a shrink, and I came up with this formulation with him, which was 'I'm playing tennis from the wrong end of the court'.
That was *really* interesting.
