Do you think Dp/Dr is caused by trauma?

I know this question was already asked, but this here is more specific.

I answered yes, but must clarify.

I have no SHOCKING trauma in my past, but the meaning of the word "trauma" must be defined.

Any piece of reality that seeps into a tightly controlled self's view of its world can be traumatic.

Anytime we are holding onto a very rigid view of who we are and what we SHOULD be and what the world is all about and anytime we believe we KNOW ourselves a little more than anyone really could, then any piece of reality that challenges those "delusions" is perceived by the mind as trauma.

We react in trauma by trying to NOT know something we are beginning to know. This does not have to be some horrible abuse memory or anything overtly shocking.

Trauma is reality breaking through when we have spent much of our lives trying to slam the door in its face.

Yes, I think it's a trauma thing and lack of sleep and other factors, but a trauma.

Yes, trauma means lack of sleep or too much stress also.

I answered yes, but can't identify the trauma/s. Maybe it was the teasing at school that was intenfied by my lack of trust - the lack of trust created in very early age during the period of my mother's alcoholism. Or then not, I don't know. All I know the DR started when I was fourteen, and at that time period I lost my last friend at school, so it may have something to do with the DR... It would be so nice if I could get into talk therapy, to find some answers indeed. :?

I doubt if talk therapy is capable of giving answers to such questions.
If you succeed, tell me, ninnu.

Hi I - me too am not expecting much from the hypothetical therapy. But I think it is better to try than not to try anything at all - let's see... And surely I'll inform you and other people here in this forum if I happen to succeed

I've thought about this one today....i think it's a mix of things....mostly my dad's suicide and how it's affected my family...but then ive gained some strength but that definately played an immense part i guess...
