People usually learn to do it as a response to trauma, severe stress, hopelessness or lack of agency. However, dissociation is more common than you think and it's not necessarily a sign of mental health disorder, but simply a response to a stressful reality and feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities.

If you know how and why you dissociate, perhaps you can reverse it.

1. Become aware that you dissociate - if you can't accept it, you won't be able to change it. Become familiar of the differences between a state when you are dissociated and when you are not.
2. Identify the behaviours which you perform while dissociated or attempting to dissociate (e.g. watch a movie, play a game, read, some other distraction)
3. Catch yourself while dissociating
4. Stay present when you feel an urge to dissociate: focus on your breath, on different sensations, exercise - whatever can keep you in your body in the present moment. Even something as simple as counting to 20 while feeling an urge to dissociate can make a big difference
