How to come out of depersonalization
- Recognise the feelings as a normal & harmless part of the fight-or-flight response.
- Don’t fight the feelings, focus on other activities. Trying to suppress thoughts makes them more constant. It's called the ironc process. Gently turning your attention away will allow those thoughts to fade away naturally.
- Try focusing attention on the outside world (grounding). Watch your favorite show, do crosswords, or learn a new skill.
- Exercise releases endorphins, generates a strong sense of accomplishment, promotes socialising, changes environment to break the negative thought patterns.
