Exit The Dream

This is a completely revamped, updated version of Exit the Dream (published May 2024)!

• Are you tired of dealing with weird dissociative feelings, and ruminating about the nature of reality?
• Have you consumed LOTS of content on depersonalisation-derealisation disorder (DPDR), only to find that nothing helps you fully recover?
• Are you sick to death of people describing DPDR as a simple 'anxiety symptom', when you KNOW that something else is going on with your brain?

Here's the truth: DPDR IS a harmless, anxiety-based condition. BUT, very few people understand what drives it/how to cure it. Most gurus are well-intentioned, but don't understand the neuroscience behind it! Breaking free from the cycle doesn't JUST require 'brave exposure to your fears'; it requires highly specific ways of thinking, talking to yourself, and acting.

Luckily, I've got great news for you!

If you read this book with an open mind and earnestly engage in the recovery programme, you will rapidly and effortlessly recover from DPDR and feel normal again. As a neuroscientist who successfully conquered chronic DPDR years ago, I am driven to teach every last sufferer a). what this 'disorder' really is and b). how to recover from it in a matter of days/weeks and avoid relapses.

Regardless of how lost you currently feel, you are real and safe. What's more, your brain is perfectly healthy and is working as it's designed; ironically, it's following your orders (to focus on, fear, and autoinduce dissociation)! I know you feel like there is something very wrong with you, but this is a mere illusory symptom of the OCD-like thinking, heightened anxiety and self-scanning that collectively cause DPDR in the first place. These are your real issues, and we are going to tackle them at their roots.

In this book, you will learn all about:

- What brief dissociation is: the 'freeze' response
- What chronic dissociation is: a cycle fuelled by panic disorder & OCD
- How DPDR is closely linked to panic/anxiety, but more complex (this will answer your question: "Why do I sometimes feel dissociated even when I'm calm?")
- Why certain people fall into DPDR and others never will
- Why focusing on dissociation prompts your brain to scan for it AND induce it, and how to reverse this
- Why your biggest mistake = excessively labelling different parts of your DPDR experience: E.g. "I feel like I'm underwater/in a simulation/floating"
- How to handle your health anxiety
- How to rewire your brain's fear circuitry: counterintuitive, but MAGICAL, neuroscience-backed techniques that show your brain that it doesn't need to care/think about dissociation
- How to speak to and rewire your subconscious brain to transform your deeply rooted beliefs & self-concept
- The secret benefits to being genetically prone to this type of anxiety/obsessionality
- How to redirect your inherently obsessional nature towards incredibly fruitful pursuits, rather than suppressing it
- The lesson to take away: how curing yourself of DPDR will set you up to achieve whatever you want in life.

THE UPSHOT: There is nothing incurable or permanent about DPDR; when you are ready to launch yourself towards recovery, counter the illusion and think in ways that you never have before, it disappears - it simply can no longer be sustained when you are truly committed to living and thriving in the real world.

• Latest Edition (May 2024): professionally formatted and edited, with much richer, more valuable, neuroscience-backed content! Get ready to emerge a new version of yourself that is immune to DPDR and naturally feels 'real' and safe... all the time.
