Dissociation recovery: For the first time in my life I feel like I’m really inside my body and have control over my life. I’m almost 30 and most of my life due to terrible abuse, I’ve felt like I wasn’t in my own body. When I looked in the mirror, I wouldn’t recognize myself as truly “me”, it’s getting a little better with time, some days worse, some days are better. I’d look at my hand and wonder if it’s really mine. When the world around you doesn’t feel completely real, it’s a terrifying feeling.
