Why Do I Feel Unplugged From My Body? Is It Stored Trauma?

 

Toning The Vagus Nerve To Release Stored Trauma

I feel disconnected and cold, like my mind has been unplugged from my body. It’s possible the dissociation could be trauma stored in the vagus nerve…

 

What Does Dissociation Feel Like And What Causes It?

Dissociation can feel like you’re empty inside or like your mind doesn’t live in your body anymore. The world may feel like it’s not real, like you’re watching life through a funhouse mirror.

If you’re experiencing dissociation, you may suffer from memory problems and can suddenly feel sad and depressed for no reason.

 

Your dissociated feelings can last for a few hours, a week or two, or even as long as a couple of years. These feelings don’t have to be back-to-back but can be spaced apart by long periods of time.

 

Dissociation is often caused by trauma. Your trauma can be obvious or it can be sneaky. Here are some traumatic causes of dissociation:

  • Childhood trauma
  • Sexual abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Injuries
  • Chronic stress
  • Toxic work or home environments
  • Medical conditions

Is There A Biological Cause For Dissociation?

 The vagus nerve is responsible for connecting all of your organs and sending sensory messages from the body to the brain. When your body experiences trauma, the vagus nerve is responsible for carrying these messages.

 

This means that a single nerve has experienced every single bit of stress, pain, and trauma your body has gone through over your entire life.

The vagus nerve can become damaged by all of this trauma, so in a sense, it stores all the trauma you’ve ever experienced.

 

Think of a blanket, its job is to keep you warm. Maybe you had coffee in bed one morning and split a little and it stains the blanket, maybe it gets torn in the wash, or your dog chews a hole in one end.

 

 

The blanket can still do its job, just not as well as before.

 

Your vagus nerve becomes damaged as it sends all the details of your trauma to your brain. It still does its job, but like the worn and torn blanket, it doesn’t do its job perfectly.
