I totally agree. I'm always annoyed when people say just 'ignore' it, it will go away on its own, which is horrible advice because if you do that, you may as well wait until the day you die to get magically cured. And she also addresses where that advice comes from, that when you do the opposite, obsessing about it, it is making it worse which is true, so when people start to relax about it and start participating in normal life and especially doing things they like doing and hanging out with people they like, it may go away but that's not the same as ignoring it, because you a/stopped making it worse, by obsessing and resisting it and b/ you start putting your attention elsewhere, that way you stop resisting (what you resist, persists) and start doing what you actually enjoy. However, for many this may not even be possible due to fears being too big to handle which gets in the way of doing what you want and deeper-lying trauma's creating negative feelings that we tend to IGNORE already all the time as she says. The root-cause of DP for many is a continuous habitual ignoring of feelings and resisting of wanting to be here that for many results in a coping addiction of maladaptive daydreaming and excessive (existential) thinking. Perhaps, those who were cured from simply so called 'ignoring' or lets say doing what they enjoy doing and stopped obsessing about the condition, didn't have severe underlying trauma to begin with. Some may also need certain foods, supplements to cure a chemical imbalance, but I think most need either to deeply work on their underlying issues or somehow find a way to get in life what you want so that at a core emotional level you WANT to be here, this way you will be cured in a split-second, because DP can start in a split-second and it can end just as fast, but if you don't stop ignoring reality and get in touch with your emotions or create the reality you want, so you will automatically will want to live in this reality and not just your daydreams, you can stay stuck for years. I would compare dissociation with fainting, but DP/DR is like losing consciousness in a less extreme way than fainting, you're still aware, but less aware and not completely unaware, therefore things seem less real and we know that the body loses consciousness because it became overwhelmed and it happens very fast out of your control, because it's not a rational decision. DP can also happen just as fast from being emotionally overwhelmed due to severe anxiety and/ or extreme resistance of being in an ugly reality, resulting in an unconscious reflex to zone out, but we're not completely unconscious so we can work on waking up or coming back so to speak and not pretend that everything is fine if that's not how you truly feel.
