THE 20 EXERCISES TO ESCAPE FROM DEPERSONALIZATION AND DEREALIZATION

Here you are ordered and classified the twenty exercises you should practice to get over your DPDR disorder. 

It's very important be CONSTANT, do them ALONE and try to ENJOY the recovery process. 

They are cumulative, I mean, you can do number 1 for a whole week, then you can practice 1 or 2, later 1, 2 or 3, and thus more and more variety of exercises as you get to know them. There is no a fixed rule.

The ideal is to make them outdoors (on the street, in the countryside, on the beach, ...), but if the weather does not accompany you can always do the indoors exercises.

I recommend ONLY HALF AN HOUR PER DAY with full energy. The rest of the day live normally (maybe a little bit zombie) being patient without obsessing too much with the healing. It will come a day without you noticing it. All the exercises battle against DP and DR in some degree, although some of them are more appropriate for rebuild the lost personality (DP) as numbers 5, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 20.

• The green exercises are the basics, you should practice them almost every day. It's crucial to go out and walk paying attention to the world and the way you can physically affect and interact with it.
• Purple exercises are those which let you fight against Derealization.
• Blue ones are especially designed to fight against Depersonalization.
• Orange exercises are those necessary to acquire good habits and stop doing what is harmful to our recovery process.

There are many more exercises you might do because we will have to reestablish a lot of skills affected by the dissociation.

If you believe you don't have sufficient strength or willpower or can't understand the nature of these exercises, don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to accompany you as a "coach" (guide) in this recovery process:

I published a book about DPD in Spanish - Two years later I am back

Hi all!,

What have I been doing so long? Just publishing the first book in Spanish language. Its title:

"Conoce y supera la Despersonalización y la Desrealización: Trastorno de irrealidad"

'Knowing and overcoming Despersonalization and Derealization: Unreality disorder", available on Amazon. Just search "Santos DPDR" and here it comes. 

I am working on its translation to English. I have just started. I hope it can be finished around March 2018.

The cover of the book is important: you can see, left side, rational mind blocked from getting access to the right hemisphere, the emotional side. I have represented a wall between them both. That weak connection is probably the reason of the disintegrated self and unreality sense.

 

Meanwhile, how are you?. Have you done the exercises I proposed? Many people is telling me they are improving thanks to them, so give them a chance!!. 

Now I am back in English, ready to give support again to DPD sufferers around the world.

Send me your story to:

THINKING IN A RIGHT-HEMISPHERE WAY! - An small TIP to improve

Everyday we use our keyboard (PC, laptop, notebook,..) to navigate through the Internet, checking our inbox, meet friends on facebook, work with our spreadsheet, word or pdf document, etc...

So it is a very common situation. Watch this picture... What can you see?

 

The left hemisphere just notices that a toy is on the keyboard

EXERCISE: You must try to notice other aspects of your keyboard as your right-side mind would do:

1. The shape and colour of every key and the accumulated dust around them.
2. Watch you finger pressing every key. Press them very slowly. What do you feel?. Hear the sound hitting the keys. Is it similar to others you have used before?
3. Do you like the colours of the little plane?
4. Touch the plastic recovering the screen of the laptop.
5. Make a copy of the keyboard on a sheet of paper. As precise as you can draw it. Draw every detail. The letters and signs of each key must be place properly.
6. Play a little with the plane, landing on the keyboard. Do you like it? The screen could be a great barrier to pass over.
7. Use and watch your LEFT HAND!! (it is driven by your right hemisphere!!)
8. Type very slowly watching your fingers hitting the keys.
9. Notice your fingers moving from one side to the other of the keyboard to press the keys.
10. Summarizing: Feel your laptop as a physical object!

CAN YOU DO IT?

MEMORY AND DEPERSONALIZATION - Why my memory is worse than before?

Who DPDRed person has not complained and thought: My memory is failing more than necessary?

Why is this happening?

Before being DPD we could remember easily everything and now we have many problems even to know where I left the car parked and where I left the house keys at home.

We SUFFER A GREAT INSECURITY.

A part of our consciousness, located in a part of the left brain (prefrontal cortex) seamless access to encyclopedic information, logical, rational type.

However now we can not easily access to the spatial-based, based  on personal examples and particular cases of our right side de the brain (strongly connected with our lymbic system, and therefore with our emotions and personality).

Those two memories usually works as a team in a normal person. Every "word" (allocated in left side) should evoke on us an image, an emotion, a past and personal experience with that word. Now we are lacking that connection and feeling weird.
 

EXAMPLE: What did you eat yesterday?

THE "LOGIC" ANSWER " from a DPDR person:
 

MENTAL PROCESS

Uffff. I don't remember. Does it matter? Why must I do that effort? Well, let's see...

Today ... What day is it? I will look at a calendar/watch/smartphone because I do not remember ... aha, it's Tuesday (It is the same for me. It means nothing)
So yesterday it had to be Monday (pure logic) What do I usually eat on Mondays ...? Vegetables (more logical again), but in fact I can not remember well, I CAN'T SEE IT FINE. 

ANSWER:

Yesterday I must have been taken vegetables, but I'm not sure . What does it matter what I ate yesterday ?, Who cares? 

WHAT A  NORMAL PERSON THINKS:

 

MENTAL PROCESS

Ok. I will remember it.
Today is Tuesday (usually already knows, does not have to look at it) and yesterday ... (he evokes the image from the dinner of yesterday seeing itself pricking the fork to eat ... "vegetables", and seeing what they ate and drank like a movie. He is able to rewind and fast forward what happened at dinner EFFORTLESS ...

 

ANSWER:

Yesterday I ate vegetables, 100 % SURE 

OTHER EXAMPLES DAILY "BAD" MEMORY:

• Do you remember 100% if you've locked the car, or the front door of your house ?, Are you sure ?, Do you usually go to check if you have closed them?
• When you go to a restaurant and choose the dishes you are eating. . Do you usually doubt what you have chosen ?, Do you find it difficult to remember it clearly?
• In a meeting, do you usually feel uncomfortable because you have been just introduced by someone and have not been able to retain its name? Face/Feeling - Name association is not good.

EVERYTHING COMES FROM THE FACT THAT OUR MEMORY IS SOMEWAY SPLITTED IN TWO INDEPENDENT PIECES. WE CAN NOT ACCESS TO THE NECESSARY VISUAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT INFORMATION TO LINK IT WITH THE LOGIC INFO.

GOOD NEWS! :

YOU WILL RECOVERY YOUR GOOD MEMORY WHEN YOU REMOVE THE BLOCK AND THE CONNECTION BE REESTABLISHED.

Video 05 - The nature of Depersonalization/Derealization - A new approach"

In this occasion I expose my new approach to understand the nature of DPDR. It a simple hypothesis based on my own process of recovery.

 

I hope you can understand my slow speech and realize why a dpdr person may suffer so many symptoms "out of the blue" when the last neural link between both hemispheres dissapears.

 

A normal thought and a normal perception of the world requires the contribution from both hemispheres. When the thinking and logical mind is disconnected from the "body" and "emotional" mind in order to protect ourselves, permanent DPDR may appear to stay. Simply the DPDR person maybe neurologically UNABLE to think normally again.

 

From my personal point of view, the unique and effective way to build again a neural connection (somehow) is doing some cognitive exercises to activate right-side functions as vision in 3D, working with colours, distances, habits, evoking a normal pattern of thought doing regression in time and trying to reestablish the normal emotional circuit. Meds may help to supply chemical substances that facilitates this neural bridge. Maybe limbic system, amygdala, hyppocampus, ... are involved in this disease. Since they are connected basically with the right hemisphere, a life grey, flat, logical and without emotions is the kind of life a DPDR person experiments.

 

I am not a psychologist nor a neurologist. Just a Telecom Engineer bringing a new approach to focus and treat this illness based on my personal insight suffering this disorder for more than 26 years.

 

Any professional of health here watching this video?, I am looking forward hearing from you. It is a great opportunity to help so many people around the world. I need your opinion.

EXERCISE nº20 - "What must I think about people when I am walking in the street?"

One of the symptoms of DPDR consists of looking invisible for the rest of the people.

When we are walking in the street we usually avoid to look at the rest of the people because WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THEM, in fact, we are not sure about their existence. They mean nothing for us. Why this happens?

Since I don't know who I am and I am not able to remember clearly what have I done in my former life due to DPDR, it seems very difficult to guess in which way the rest will react when they see me. We lost our roots, our references, our own image. Our image depends on what the others think about us.

In order to remove that invisibility and recover our place again in the real world I should make this exercise:

EXERCISE 20 - "What must I think about people when walking in the street?"

Before facing the people in the street we should remember aspects that are unique to us

1st - How old am I?

2nd - What were my main achievements in life?

3rd - What were my most relevant hobbies/skills? I should overpass everybody in those skills and feel proud.

4rd - Pay attention to your physical aspect. Am I well dressed?, Do I look handsome today?

... etc

 

 

Any time you face people and don't know what to think about them, you should think:

• Could it be dangerous crossing his/her way? Should I be frightened?
• Is he/she physically neat, clean? or Should I feel disgusted?
• Is he/she a normal person or is he/she facing any disability?
• Is he/she going to ask me anything? Which could it be? Could I be robbed by him/her? could I be taken by surprise?
• Is he/she older than me, the same age or on the contrary I am older than he/she?
• If we are of the same age, Would I like to accept him/her in my own gang or group? I didn't like every classmate of my school. I had my reasons. Can I remember why?
• If I am older, I should know more than him/her and be superior somehow. I could teech him/her things and be compassionate with him. If I don't pay attention I could hurt him/her.
• If I am younger, that person probably knows more about life than me. I should show respect and learn from his/her.
• His/her level of studies... Are lower or higher than my own level? Would he/she overpass ME?
  I was very good playing or practising my hobby. Could he/she be better than me? Could he/she even know how to do it? Probably not If my skill is high.
• Am I stronger than that person?, Taller?, more corpulent? If we had to fight... could I win?; If I hit him/her, what would happen? (Considering physical contact helps a lot to overcome DP)I
• Is he/she more beautiful or attractive than me? Do I like him/her?....
• ...
   

Previosuly, when you were alright, you wondered those questions automatically, just within seconds. Now you cannot consider that info about people easily.

SO, YOU SHOULD BE MORE TRIVIAL AND CARE ABOUT APPEARANCES!

 

WITHOUT BEING SURE!

WITH NO LOGIC AT ALL!

ALL HEALTHY PERSON TAKE ALWAYS INTO ACCOUNT HIS/HER IMAGE AND COMPARES CONTINUOUSLY WITH OTHERS

Video 04 - "An Introduction to Depersonalization and Derealization" by Santos

Hi!

This is me, Santos. I am starting to record videos speaking in English for you to understand better the nature of DPDR and the way to make the exercises.

In this video I introduce myself and explains in my own English words symptoms, triggers and the main reasons to suffer DPDR. Remember that generalized anxiety produced DPDR which is a different disease by itself.

I'll do my best to express my ideas in a way you can understand. Thank you for your understanding :-)

Video 03 - Doing exercise 4.2 - Synchronize your senses: Vision, Hearing and Touch

Hi! :-)

Let's practice Exercise N4.2. , we must re-synchronize our main senses: vision, hearing and touch. Our hands must interact with objects and pay attention to the sounds they produce.

PAY ATTENTION TO PHYSICAL THINGS!!

We can achieve the same effect by playing physically with toys or dolls.

Video 02 - Exercise N2 "Consciously and individual approximation to objects""

Here you can find a video explaining how to do exercise N2 "Consciously and individual approximation to objects". You can do it during your daily "sensory walking".

You have to work:

• Maintaining your look on objects while you are walking in the street
• Feeling the distance between your body and walls, columns, cars, trees,...
• Reminding the first times you met that object in your time past when you were ok.
• Examining mindfully objects with your 5 senses
• Thinking about dangers and risks when you hit an object...

Better, have a look at the video on YouTube:

Video 01 - An example of "Sensory Walking"

Hi!

I have just uploaded this video to show how a sensory walking could be done. It lasts only 8min as a sample of the walk. The entire walk should last half an hour more or less.
Any question, don't hesitate to contact me at

EXERCISE No 20 - "What must I think about people when I am walking in the street"

I have read all the exercises... What must I do now - I need support ! -

My dear trip companions:

Nothing would please me more than all of you could solve this complicated puzzle that has become your Self.

You have the challenge of recovering your personality being depersonalized. What a paradox!

But it is true, only you can get it, it is thinking different, in other terms, of space, of your habits by time of day and day of the week, of your body, of time , ...

 

The matter is being able to stop your thinking machine while you are doing these cognitive exercises. This thinking self is imprisoned within our left hemisphere, reminding our duties, our problems,our concerns, ...., everything that torments us daily.

You have to be consistent, strong and try to book a daily time for your recovery . Just half an hour a day.

I'm writing an entire book based on these notes blog, written somewhat hastily recalled as practical exercises that took place during my own recovery process.

No one deserves to go through this, I contacted and keep doing it with many people who need support in Canada, USA, Scandinavia, Latin America, Egypt, ... in short all over the world. This we suffer is global, we are not alone by any means.

People come to despair because healing does not come, because they tried every approach to be  ok, because rising every day so, because they see no light at the end of this great black hole, because it is very hard to live with a body that does not consider yours 100%, ...

Please lean on me to accompany you in this way. If you do not understand the exercises or if you need any advice email me.

EXERCISE nº19 - "Disengaging from 2D screens"

The information technologies you are using in this moment may bring you good things and bad things:

Good things : the contribution of instant information among all members of the world, eg the blog, Facebook messenger, whatsapp, ...

Bad things: addiction, uncapability of disconnecting from the virtual world, abstraction and conscious avoidance of the real world

In our state, as a rule it is not appropriate to visualize 2D screens from ebooks / smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs, etc...

Exercise nº19 - "Disengaging from 2D screens"

 

Have you ever heard about "phubbing"?

• Do not use the smartphone / tablet when you're eating . You should pay attention to your surroundings, to the food you are taking, do not isolate yourself more from the real world. You should not read a newspaper or a book. It produces the same effect.
• Do not use your smartphone or read anything on foot . Apart from the obvious risks (stumble, being robbed smartphone, ...) is not healthy nor naturally escaping from the real world stimuli in any case.
• Do not use them in dates or meetings with peers and real friends.
• Establish a time limit about using screens (i.e.: 2h maximum daily). It is addictive and you know it.

The best 3D and High Definition (HD) screen 

IT IS OBSERVING THE REAL WORLD

NO SCREEN CAN REPLACE IT!

WHY DO I KNOW I AM RECOVERED?

• Because now I enjoy open landscapes .
• Because I'm going to shopping malls full with people and many different objects and I do not feel "overwhelmed" in these situations.
• Because I distinguish between countless shades of different colors .
• Because I hear all the sounds closest and relate them to others I've heard in the past.
• Because going through the section of perfumes of a mall is a parade of exciting smells
  
• Because I can while I am driving to be unfocused a little off the road and enjoy everything I see around, look at the drivers of other cars, ...
• Because I utter words that show emotion naturally. Kiss and hug my children with total feeling of what I'm doing.
• Because I can easily access what I did yesterday and the day before yesterday , or last week.
  
• Because I am knowing what is falling in love again with my wife.
• Because when I look at the clock I can see it as something natural and does not overflow me. The time of the day guides me .
• Cause now I'm spontaneous and I can jump to touch the leaves of the trees or to kick a can to score a goal between two cars, I can phone a friend whenever I want,...
• For so many reasons ...

NEVER GIVE UP SEARCHING A SOLUTION TO YOUR DP / DR!

Even if you're used to it

IT IS REALLY A DISEASE!

DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE ANYMORE WITHIN THAT CELL

I know what you have to do

santos.barrioscanseco@gmail.com

EXERCISE No18 - "Managing landscapes and open spaces"

Do the vision of a landscape confuse you?, and what do you think of the diffused light of cloudy days. Does it increase the numbness feeling and increases the typical "blurry" vision of derealization? (Rather than blurred, we should say imperfect or incomplete)

You ask yourselves... And what must I do with a landscape ?, What should I think about it ?, It really hard for me noticing something concrete, it's a little torture, right?

EXERCISE # 18 - "Landscapes and open spaces"

We reach the street and we found a landscape outdoors. What to do? 

Firstly to "understand and manage" the brightness of the sky and of the objects that we see is looking at the time it is (i.e. 13:40), noticing the height and position of the sun above the horizon and fight to remind us of what we were doing at this time when we were fine (months or years ago). It works for me wonderfully remember my school days when I was under a strict routine and schedules. For example, at 13:40 I know that I was out from school at 13:30 and had 10 'way down the avenue City of Barcelona. I know that at that time was a bit hungry and when I got home about 14:00 my mother would be preparing the meal. WE HAVE rediscover THE MEANING OF HOURS OF THE DAY.

Every time of the day should evoke memories and feelings from the past

 It is also important to think about what is/was the season of the year, I know this fact can evoke different sensations. The brightness depending on the hour and the season is quite different and characteristic. For example, in winter shadows are longer and the days much shorter than in summer. Our right hemisphere has been always capturing these nuances. Unable to access it, this kind of details are confusing for us.

Projecting our body: If we see a billboard, we must imagine for a moment that we are touching its metal holder, or that we are sitting on top of the poster. It also serves mental manipulation . Imagine we could catch it with your hands and take it to another site. For example: Resting it on the roof of a house.

 Do you know how we perceive the size of the things we see? 

We must project our body to the objects you can see in the landscape

Comparing the object with our own height, with our body. Imagining that we start to scale it or embrace it. Cars parked, as we must mentally manipulate and take them as if they were toy cars. Our body has to participate in the real things! and OUR BODY IS THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS!
  
Has equal or even more therapeutic effect said than done.

RECOVERY PHASES - From the DP / DR state to the normal state

The effects of doing the exercises of this blog can be shown in the following graph:

We distinguish three distinct phases in the recovery of DP / DR:

I) Initial state of consciousness depersonalized and derealized: . Over the years you learn to live with just the left hemisphere input, emotions are simulated, you learn to ignore and manage the annoying situations (avoiding crowds, view of landscapes and open spaces, and lots of other things ..) and can live without thinking much about it . BUT ALWAYS  BEEN AWARE THAT YOU ARE NOT WELL YET. Periodically the DP / DR will occupy our minds and we could try again a search to raise a solution, without finding it so far. When work, studies, demand our attention we will forget the issue and will continue living on our own.

II) Phase of conscious exercises: We can start with exercise No.1 ,1/2 hour every afternoon and consciously facing the objects and examining our moving body. We often will become frustrated and return home with apparently no improvement at all. But if you remain doing efforts based on (1) asking for the brain that perform functions that are only known by the right hemisphere and (2) remembering how you did when you were alright we will open a minimum neuronal path to the information stored there.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRECISELY THE ACTIVITIES THAT INCREASE THE DP/DR FEELING. WHEN WE ARE MORE CONSCIOUS THAT WE ARE IMPOTENT TO FULFILL THEM. SO THEY MAY INCREASE YOUR LEVEL OF ANXIETY. => That's why these exercises" can not be take us more than  1/2 hour at first, until we get to Phase III.

This phase is critical. It is when we will be tempted to give up. Again resignation. We still will be well, perhaps not yet feel almost emotions but notice that something is going well . We will be forcing the right hemisphere to work. " i.e. evoking images and objects from the past and retrieving memories associated with color shades we perceive " .

 

Don't GET OBSESSED WITH THE RECOVERY, IT IS A TIME TO RELAX, TO HAVE A WALK,... USING YOUR SENSES, TRYING TO DO THE EXERCISES AND HAVING FUN. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE.

During this phase we will alternate outdoor exercises with others that can be done at home. This phase may be long, in my case from six months to a year.

III) Initial phase of normality

There will come a day when, by repeating the exercises, surprisingly, we can do them even outside the half an hour and with not too much difficulty. We will return to normalcy, improve our vision, our memory will be reinforced, time perception will return to normality, our memory, our tastes and preferences and the most important thing, we will be able to access the emotions . WE WILL BE A COMPLETE PERSON AGAIN AND FINALLY WE WILL BREATH AND FIND THE PEACE INSIDE.

HOW IS YOUR THOUGHT NOW? - Basic stages towards permanent DP/DR

So ... What happened to us? How could it be possible? There are several known reasons:

1) Taking chemical substances as weed, LSD,...
2) Suffering a big trauma (car accident, death of a loving being, abuses, tortures, being kidnapped,...)
3) Long lasting anxiety.

In this post I focus on reason nº3, my own case.

Consider this drawing illustrating 3 simple steps within the path that leads to a DPDR stroke:

1. NORMAL THOUGHT: Our conscience freely access both hemispheres in a more or less balanced way depending of personality. 
2. UNBALANCED THOUGHT : Due to anxiety  , always coming to the point, for every matter,  denying our emotions for long periods of time, our consciousness began putting aside information that came from the right hemisphere .  Emotional info useless/conflicting for our logical target! At this stage we still have control. "We were ignoring real things and their details , we were passing from our body, ..., from anything not essential to solve our problem. "
3. CIRCULAR THOUGHT: At some point the way was closed
   
   (Stunted by "non-use") to our consciousness for accessing to:

• Our emotions (connected with amygdala)
• Our personal history (located in the hippocampus) and emotions associated with it.
• As "collateral" damage other functions are visibly affected as the 3D view and calculation of distances and sizes of objects, pattern recognition / face / body itself, the ability to perceive time, understanding art ...

On the contrary, our consciousness is limited to the "logic" information stored in the left hemisphere. That is our prison: infinite logical thoughts, philosophical way of life in a tireless manner. From this comes the dissociation, we feel we are spectators, we feel we have no control over our body, which moves automatically and is not controlled completely by us. 

The "we" is impotent (no way), locked, unable to find himself , we are a clump of logical thinking. Who can help us to enable that road again? We miss normalcy ... to be "average people". Our right brain still works, of course, BUT WE CANNOT control it, hence come all our symptoms.

THE EXERCISES IN THIS BLOG SERVES TO UNBLOCK THE WAY

LOGIC IS NOT THE SOLUTION!

YOU MUST RELIVING THE PAST TO FEEL THE WAY WE USE TO THINK!

THERE IS A LOT OF HARD WORK !, sometimes you will feel you are failing, but you will get it!!
