When we\u2019re presented with challenging circumstances it\u2019s natural for us to cope with them through a wide variety of behaviors. Today Dr. Hanson and Forrest explore one of the most common coping mechanisms: dissociation. This includes what it is, the function it serves, the experiences that can lead to dissociation, and what we can do about it.\nSupport the Podcast: We're on Patreon!
