#54 How I Healed Series: The Truth About Dissociation

In the first episode of the How I Healed series on the Jessica Ella Podcast 🎙️ Jessica shares the truth most survivors never hear about dissociation. It is not a flaw. It is your brain’s brilliant solution to unbearable overwhelm.

She opens up about living years in a dreamlike fog, the moment nothing felt real, and the exact shifts that helped her return to her body, memory by memory.

Inside you will learn:
👉🏼 Why dissociation is protective and how it connects to the freeze response
👉🏼 How to identify your triggers and use them as a roadmap to heal
👉🏼 Gentle practices to bring your awareness back into your body and stay there
👉🏼 What to do when coming back online feels uncomfortable or scary
👉🏼 How to grieve the time you lost and rebuild a life that feels alive

This conversation is warm, practical, and deeply validating. If you have ever felt numb, checked out, or like life is passing you by, you are not broken. You are ready to heal.
