Description
What if something you see suddenly looks completely different, or you feel like you've checked out of the world around you?
It can be hard to explain, especially when you're not sure why it happened.
In this video, I walk you through a few questions that can help us understand these experiences. Did it last a few seconds or much longer? Were you stressed, upset, or dealing with a headache? Did things actually look different, or did you feel emotionally disconnected?
These details matter when we're trying to understand the difference between Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) and dissociation. They can also help identify when further medical or psychological evaluation is needed.
