That's a very different strategy than if you haven't quite yet fallen, but you're almost going to fall.

Going back, you said that disease is the fifth pattern.

What are the other four?

We survive powerlessness by engaging three survival strategies.

Those survival strategies are dissociation,

immobilization and energy conservation.

Let me walk through those.

Dissociation.

That's a strong word.

The idea is that I need to put distance between myself and what's happening.

My reality is so unbearable.

I don't want to be fully present to this.

So I'm going to disconnect.

So that first pattern then is this pattern of disconnection.

If we're not able to resolve and process this experience, these three survival strategies become our five patterns.

So dissociation becomes a chronic pattern of disconnection.

In the moment in an acute freeze or trauma response, dissociation looks like brain fog.

It looks like feeling disoriented.

It feels like everyone around you seems very far away.

Voices seem like they're far away.
