Special Request: If you feel this Dissociation Blog Showcase is of value, please add it to your Blogroll so others may benefit by finding it. Thanks! Photo Credit
This is an alphabetized list of blogs written by people who experience dissociation. These blogs are not required to be exclusively about dissociation — because we are all much more than the fact that we dissociate. But dissociation plays a role in how we view life, how we make everyday decisions, and how we see ourselves. We are enriched by amazingly open and courageous writers amongst us. I’m providing a showcase for them.
IMPORTANT: Please keep your own safety in mind when reading any of these blogs. Not all contain trigger warnings, and material may be graphic or triggering.
My first round of reviewing blogs included those which explicitly discuss dissociation and its implications for everyday life, a dissociative diagnosis, or a therapy process dealing with dissociation. When unsure, I erred on the side of not including it here. I also excluded any blogs which require a password.
I will soon be adding separate sections for general information sites which address dissociative issues but technically are not blogs, and a section for blogs by trauma therapists who I believe advance the conversation about dissociation in ways which benefit us all.
If your blog is not included here, and you want it to be, please email me at sarah.e.olson AT gmail DOT com. I personally review every blog added to the index. Likewise, if your blog is included here, and you wish to opt out of participating in this showcase, that is your absolute right. Send me an email to let me know your preference.
And lastly, please help me keep this showcase up to date; write to me if any links break, or if you find typos. Thanks!

Dissociation
It sounds like a circus back there,
behind me where I can’t go, trapped
in my mute carnival
and I’m suddenly alone,
before the shadow of a carousel
that picks up speed behind me
and into its still shadow I look
to see what spins
rounds the will
rounds a white shock
rounds the will
rounds a creeping terror
that detaches and divides me–
I wait for the will
to come round again
and in the shadow on the concrete
a crowd enters in–
people like paper cut-outs
with painted faces,
their souls are balloons
in their hands
that I look through
and imagine nothing
in the thin transparency and emptiness.
Will never rounds
I have to wait for the ride to end.
I have two new blogs. Don’t know if you want to list them.

and

Hi, thanks so much for offering your blogs for the Dissociation Blog Showcase! I update and announce any Showcase additions on Sunday evenings. Thanks again!
Sarah
Thanks for listing my blog. I’m excited to check out the other blogs. This is a great resource for all of us and all of those who love us.
Great idea and good effort. I really feel this will have a positive impact and you have set it up beautifully.
I am aware it is a lot of work and I thank you.
Great showcase! Thanks for putting it all together and making it accessible
Hi I’m a new subscriber – thanks so much for this invaluable source! I am wondering if there’s a way to change the name I gave when I first subscribed? If so could you please let me know how I can do this? Thanks again.
Hi, thanks for your kind words!
You subscribed through WordPress, (since I don’t have any other subscription service on currently). WordPress uses your WordPress account name that you log into WordPress to subscribe you. If you go to Users to Profile, it gives your account name and a few lines down “Display name publicly as”. You can use any name there, but it will apply to all of your subscriptions, not just here.
Hope this helps!
Take care,
Sarah
Hi Sarah, thanks for that. I’m sorry I’m not that clued up with computers, and can’t remember how I even signed up to begin with. Where can I find this ‘Users’ and ‘profile?’ I tried to look up Word Press online but couldn’t find either users or profile options anywhere. Sorry to hassle you over such a small thing! Appreciate your time…
Hi Mirjam,
I’m so sorry I didn’t see this before. In your WordPress account, across the top in a horizontal gray bar at the far left find “My Account”. From the drop down menu click “Edit my profile”. You can change your public name in the box for “display name publicly as”. Note: You cannot change the account username you signed up with.
Sorry again for the delay! I hope this helps.
Take care,
Sarah
Sarah, I’ve just come upon this wonderful list … and saw my own blog’s name on it! Thank you so much … I will explore your site … There are many riches here!
Jaliya
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to post all these links. I will take my time and go through. Appreciate this. Blessings.
Thank you Sarah for adding my blog to your showcase. I am in some pretty amazing company here! Keep up the good work!
Sarah, thank you for gathering these sites together all in one place. Many will be helped by these sites and yours.
Thank you for including me… this is greatness!!!!!!

Elle
