how do you cure or calm depersonalisation?

Answer 1

Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for dissociative disorders. This form of therapy, also known as talk therapy, counseling or psychosocial therapy, involves talking about your disorder and related issues with a mental health professional. Your therapist will work to help you understand the cause of your condition and to form new ways of coping with stressful circumstances.

Psychotherapy for dissociative disorders often involves techniques, such as hypnosis, that help you remember and work through the trauma that triggered your dissociative symptoms. The course of your psychotherapy may be long and painful, but this treatment approach often is very effective in treating dissociative disorders.

Answer 2

Depersonalisation in my case was a mental defence mechanism, or maybe just a reaction, to something in my life which bothered or frustrated me. I never found out exactly what it was, but talking with a psychotherapist was helpful. However, frustrating too in that they don't make suggestions but only let you talk. During the early years of my marriage a psychologist said to me (whilst hospitalized through a nervous breakdown) that my partner was not compatible. I ignored that - I was in love and my wife was pregnant - but after 17 years we parted. Since then I have had no such problems.. Right, so take a step back and look at your life as a whole and think about your job, your relationships to family and friends, your routines, - maybe there is something hidden that is indeed frustrating you, or through psychotherapy it is possible that something will come to light that is a disturbance - then you can take action to remedy the situation. Of course it doesn't mean it has to be anything drastic, the problem could well be a little niggling thing that has become irritating with time, manifesting itself in its own way. A different method is to visit a behavioural-psychologist , but expert advice first to give you a 'pointer' is always the best. There are many alterations to your behaviour that you could try out, but why take pot-luck when you can pot black by consulting an expert?
