Dimension 360 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Traumatic Dissociation measures dissociative and numbing responses linked to traumatic or highly stressful experiences. It encompasses detachment from self or others, unreality, memory disruption, emotional numbing, and efforts to shut down distress tied to reminders.
Minimal Traumatic Dissociation
Expressions activating this band show only limited or mixed signs of trauma-linked dissociation, often centering on isolated physical reactivity to reminders, vague distress, or diffuse preoccupation without clear detachment, unreality, or memory disruption.
Moderate Traumatic Dissociation
Expressions activating this band show recognizable dissociative responding to stressful reminders, including feeling detached from other people, sensing that oneself or surroundings are unreal, partial memory gaps, and avoidance of trauma-related thoughts or feelings.
High Traumatic Dissociation
Expressions activating this band show pronounced dissociative disruption marked by depersonalization, strong emotional numbing, inability to recall important parts of traumatic experiences, and a sense of being cut off from feelings or from one's own self.
