The capacity to control your dissociative capabilities is very powerful. It allows people to be good at reflective cognition. It allows people to have intense focus on a specific task. Hypnosis, flow, being “in the zone”—all of these are examples of the trance state that dissociation allows. People who learn to control when and how they go into a trance state have a gift. I can guarantee you, Oprah, that you’re really good at dissociating. It’s one of your superpowers.
