Dissociation is so difficult, it just rejects everything. Hard to work with if it withstands all attempts to negotiate.

So basically patience
Hard part is that dissociation feels very difficult to connect to by definition. It's like trying to negotiate with a siren to stop, it'll capture you in its song when you try to get close

patience is the word i had in mind but it felt too grandiose to actually say, esp. when i haven't tried it myself 😅
and yeah that does seem hard :/

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of patience! Coherence therapy made me try to do it all quick, and then i guilt tripped myself for not resolving deep patterns
I like the idea of pendulation where you do little movements that free up into bigger movements
