Many individuals after experiencing trauma developed many psychological mechanisms which help them in managing that trauma. One of helpful mechanism is dissociation in which a sudden change occurs in the conscious state of the person. But on the same time this change will affect the normal connected functions of feeling, identity and memory of the affected person.
