Swamy G and I dive deep into Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder. He talks about his own experience and suffering, what didn’t work, what did work, and the key to healing it.  We address many questions.  Is DP/DR chronic or temporary? Is there always anxiety and trauma underlying it?  How does it relate to other mental illnesses?  Swamy G has a website and online resources to help those who are suffering from this disorder.  You can find it here.   https://acoachcalledlife.com/author/swamy_g/  He also offers a course on DP/DR recovery at DPNoMore.comThe Sanity Sessions is a weekly podcast featuring interviews with top leaders in mental health and psychology. Timestamps for this episode:- Swamy's DP/DR story - 1:00- Depersonalization and Psychosis Part 1 - 12:35- Philosophical thoughts - 15:30- Is DP/DR a mystical experience? - 19:55- What to do and what not to do - 22:20- What happens after acceptance? - 30:50- Is trauma the sole reason for DP/DR? - 36:25- Does medication work for DP/DR? - 40:25- Can depersonalization last forever? - 45:55- Will you miss DP/DR when you start to recover? 52:15- Psychosis and DP/DR Part 2 - 54:30I'm Creative Director of Contemplative Light and host of this podcast.  I am now offering Executive Coaching Sessions for Personal Development.  These are one-on-one sessions on the phone or Zoom, depending on what works best for you.  I meet you where you are at in your journey and where you want to be.  If you are interested or have questions, we can set up a free session to talk more, just email me at thesanitysessions[at]gmail[dot]comThanks for listening!
