During childhood or adolescence, there may have been helplessness in a child’s ability to response to certain situations. An adaption a child may utilize is to shut down and go numb emotionally, or to lose oneself in a fantasy world. As an adult, a person may achieve this disconnectedness through alcohol, television, or surfing the web for hours. In childhood, all they could do was disengage emotionally to diminish the overwhelming feelings they were experiencing.
