Psychologs on Instagram: "Dissociation isn’t weakness; it’s the mind’s way of surviving what feels unbearable. When trauma overwhelms the brain’s ability to cope, memory, awareness, and emotions may disconnect as a form of psychological protection. Dissociative amnesia shows how deeply the mind prioritises survival over conscious recall, selectively blocking painful memories while preserving identity. Understanding dissociation helps reduce stigma and brings us closer to trauma-informed empathy and healing. #Dissociation #DissociativeAmnesia #TraumaPsychology #MentalHealthAwareness #PsychologyEducation #TraumaResponse #ClinicalPsychology #MindAndMemory #MentalHealthMatters #PsychologyStudents"
