When I begin to dissociate a lot, I try to schedule more sessions with my analyst, as it helps me a lot to actually see him and know he is still there for me. I guess most important, though, is the fact that the more frequent sessions allow him to bring me back from a dissociated, indifferent, disconnected state into a more actively involved one. There's a tremendous amount of pain with it, but some deep part of me (the right hemisphere?) gets to experience that THIS time, there is a a safe, interested person right there with me- it feels like the love that wasn't there the first time around. Of course, we're all going bankrupt with all of this expensive therapy- at least, I am!
