DISSOCIATIVE ANXIETY DISORDER

A Trauma-Informed Guide to Healing Depersonalization, Derealization, and Chronic Anxiety

By Dr. Maya Ellington

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, your surroundings, or your emotions—almost as if you’re watching your life from the outside? Dissociation often appears during overwhelming stress or trauma, but when paired with anxiety, it can create a frightening loop of detachment, panic, and confusion.

In this compassionate, trauma-informed guide, Dr. Maya Ellington explains what dissociative anxiety really is, why it happens, and how your mind uses dissociation as a protective survival response. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma psychology, and grounding-based therapy, she offers practical tools to help you reconnect, regulate your nervous system, and regain control of your internal world.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

✔ What dissociative anxiety disorder truly is—and common myths that create fear

✔ How the brain and nervous system create depersonalization and derealization

✔ Emotional and sensory triggers that pull you out of the present moment

✔ Trauma-informed grounding tools to reconnect with your body

✔ Techniques to calm the anxiety that fuels dissociation

✔ How identity wounds, emotional neglect, and trauma impact dissociative patterns

✔ A step-by-step path to feeling safe, centered, and fully present again

If you’re tired of feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by your thoughts, this book will guide you toward understanding, safety, and long-term healing.
