Sometimes what looks like “zoning out” is actually your brain protecting itself.
For some, that’s ADHD hyperfocus > the brain’s way of channeling energy into one thing at a time.
For others, it’s dissociation > the nervous system pulling back to create safety.
And sometimes, it’s both.
Trauma and neurodivergence can overlap in complex ways therapy helps you recognize what your body is trying to say, not just how it behaves.
You’re not spacing out. You’re adapting.
