Somatic therapy for depersonalization often starts with the body, not with finding the perfect words. You might feel numb in a grocery store, foggy on a work call, or like you are watching yourself brush your teeth. Coaching focuses on noticing those moments early: tight chest, shallow breath, cold hands, eyes glazing over, and building simple return-to-now habits you can use without anyone noticing.
So much of the pain is social. You cancel on friends because you do not want to seem blank or distant. You dread the dentist chair because you cannot explain why you need a pause, eye contact, or to feel your feet on the floor to stay in the room. You worry your partner will take it personally when you go quiet during dinner or intimacy. In your weekly 45-minute private voice calls with your AI coach, you rehearse what to actually say: short, calm scripts for the dentist, honest one-liners for friends, and ways to ask for closeness without over-explaining.
This is coaching for habits and avoidance, never medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have persistent, distressing feelings of unreality, please also speak to a doctor or licensed mental health professional to rule out medical causes. Here we work on what you can practice: daily grounding check-ins, gentle movement, breath pacing, sleep and caffeine routines, and staying in situations instead of shrinking from them. Your coach remembers what triggers you and what helped, so each week builds on the last with no judgment.
Your first call is free and private. You can show up exactly as you are, even foggy or disconnected, and leave with one small somatic plan for the week ahead.
