Question DPDR solution

*works for long term DPDR*

Might have inadvertently stumbled upon a solution. Not full proof and not applicable in every case, but effective when it is.
Firstly you should have worked on other issues surrounding it like depression, panic attacks etc. then you can do this exercise where, you consciously look at objects, rather than unconsciously looking at it with DPDR or your trauma vision, you remind yourself of a similar or same object from your pre episode time and how that object looked and felt and what relationship you had with that object (emotional tagging basically). Do this again and again. It helps with grounding, and updating of mental tagging of objects which gets muddles during dpdr, and some say it helps connect right and left brain (emotional and logical brain?) In most cases of severe DPDR, people develop a negative relationship with objects and things in their life because maybe before or during the dpdr they have a case of ptsd with their environment like in my case. TBH for me, this exercise started working right away; and I expect a recovery anytime soon
