Dissociative Behavior
Dissociative children often have secret places in their
minds where they go when over-whelmed… Typically they are zones of
vivid, experiential fantasy without strong reality constraints.
When a dissociative child enters into one of these fantasy states,
observers note that the child has behaviorally ‘shut down’ and assumed
a vacant, trance-like stare. The
child may curl up in a fetal position or rhythmically self-soothe by
rocking, stroking, or bumping. These
kinds of behaviors, which are sometimes misinterpreted as psychotic or
autistic, can often be associated with specific triggers or events in the
child’s life...
