People often believe that the only way to break out of the
dissociative fog is a jolt to the body. Scratching, cutting,
and burning are among the destructive methods chosen prior

and controlled situation. Sometimes just the raw expression
of color is enough to shift numbness toward normal feeling,
in the context of a therapeutic relationship.
