#043 - Depersonalization and Feelings of Unreality (Dr. Elaine Hunter)

Summary: This week I'm joined by Dr. Elaine Hunter to discuss Depersonalization Disorder (DPD). We explore what it feels like to experience depersonalization (and derealization), whether depersonalization is a symptom of anxiety or the result of a chemical imbalance, common circumstances which can trigger an episode, the cognitive behavioral perspective on how and why depersonalization becomes chronic, and some tips and advice on how to deal with the symptoms. *** BOOKS MENTIONED *** "Overcoming Depersonalization" http://amzn.to/2DnYosB "Mind Over Mood" http://amzn.to/2DXSfEc *** SHOW NOTES *** http://myownworstenemy.org/podcast *** SUPPORT *** http://myownworstenemy.org/support *** SOCIAL MEDIA *** Facebook: http://facebook.com/myownworstenemyorg Twitter: http://twitter.com/dannydwhittaker *** CREDITS *** Theme Music: Falling Down by Ryan Little http://youtube.com/user/TheR4C2010 Podcast Image: Amy Elyse https://flic.kr/p/6Dxopn DISCLAIMER: My Own Worst Enemy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.
