The title of this series is a take on “The Here and Now” which is typically used to describe living in the moment and focusing on what is happening. In those who experience derealization or depersonlization the Here and Now are often unfathomable and daunting, it is more of a perception of a trance or a different reality. Those who experience these conditions often have experienced a trauma, such as a violent or sudden loss, and this is a way the brain copes- it creates distance from the pain. More information about one person’s experience with depersonalization and derealization can be found in this article in Psychology Today.
