I am new to this site. So, please excuse if this info is already here. However, I have found a great deal of relief from dissociating lately by directly focusing on the panic, the tics, the pain or whatever comes up that might be a signal that my body is trying to process (and maybe why it started dissociating to begin with all those years ago.)
A book has been particularly helpful to me (recommended by my therapist) called "The Body Keeps The Score" by Vanderkook. It goes into tremendous detail regarding the spectrum of dissociation and all the parts and pieces one might experience while dealing with these confusing "people" that share space with us in the same body. I'm not saying that everyone who has dissociation has full blown DID, but I have noticed that, in myself at least, there is significant confusion-- particularly as you decide to face what is going on with you and do the work consciously to get better. It is the hardest thing I have ever done.
I prefer audiobooks so I purchased it on audible. Well worth it. I'm on my second listen now. I hope this helps.
