DP + Trauma

Hey,

I'm wondering if anyone has any links or books that talk about DPs relationship to trauma? Do you feel like your DP is related to a traumatic event?

I do for mine but interested in if other people also think this.

Hello and welcome to the forums .

DP can be caused by a number of things, Trauma is the most common cause for pathological dissociation, but it can also be rooted in other disorders, anxiety, stress, or any number of things (from what my therapist told me and what my own research has turned up), All in all it tends to be best to talk to a P-doc or therapist about it, as they are the most up to date and can provide accurate diagnoses.

Hope you're doing well

I don't have DP but I think I have a different dissociative disorder. Closer to DID but more likely along the lines of DD-NOS. DP does have some ties to trauma. Primarily emotional abuse type trauma. Anxiety and some drugs can also cause it. Here's a link: http://depersonalizationrecovery.com/ar ... %E2%80%8F/
