Symptoms of dissociation resulting from trauma may include depersonalization, psychological numbing, disengagement, or amnesia regarding the events of the abuse. It has been hypothesized that dissociation may provide a temporarily effective defense mechanism in cases of severe trauma; however, in the long term, dissociation is associated with decreased psychological functioning and adjustment.
Signs and symptoms depend on the type of dissociative disorders you have, but may include: 1  Memory loss (amnesia) of certain time periods, events, people and personal information. 2  A sense of being detached from yourself and your emotions. 3  A perception of the people and things around you as distorted and unreal.  A blurred sense of identity.
