Statements
There is little published research on dissociative experiences among transgender people, and none from an in-depth qualitative perspective. (English)
In-depth, open-ended interviews (<i>N</i> = 7, 6 trans women, 1 trans man) were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced (particularly among trans women) and its possible relation to negative emotions. (English)
There were several similarities across the dissociative experiences described by participants: six felt themselves disconnected from their body as a whole (in contrast to feeling disconnected to a specific body part), and from the world around them and/or themselves. (English)
Four acted out different personalities, and five felt emotionally numb when they were dissociating. (English)
Six participants described that their dissociation lessened after they started hormone therapy. (English)
Respondents tended to distinguish between dysphoric and dissociative experiences: dysphoric phenomena were more clearly distressful while dissociative ones were more emotionally numb. (English)
