I always knew I did it, from way back before therapy ever started. But I had my own words to describe it, not the official ones. And my therapist used my own words when talking about it with me, at least for a long time.
I'm not sure whether I came across the concept of dissociation in my quest to discover why I did the things I did and asked him if that was the name for what I was doing, or if he finally introduced the formal concept himself.
In fact, everything I've come to understand about myself after years of therapy, I already knew before I started therapy. I just had a different way of thinking about it, and different words to describe it.
