i think when you are in a conversation or event that is painful and you get yourself to listen while "being
somewhere else" that this is self hypnosis of sorts. it would be "dissociation" if in the process you failed to recall
part of the event or emotion from that event. but it wouldn't be something you chose to do.
This happens all the time to me in therapy- I dissociate when my therapist brings up a painful subject. I have no idea what she just said, nor do I know what happened. I just hear her say my name and I feel confused and try to cover and fail miserably. I have tried to meditate to calm panic attacks- the deep breathing, etc., but I am always aware of what is going on. I don't try to self-hypnotize myself, I think I would be too frightened. Take care, judy
