DisAssociating is where you cease to associate. Examples include being disassociated from your church.
Dissociating is mentally leaving the scene. It’s a protective mechanism during a traumatic experience. Sometimes trauma sticks around. This condition is called “post traumatic stress disorder.” One symptom of ptsd is dissociating. Sometimes, certain sounds, smells, or situations can remind someone of the traumatic situation so their mind sort of tunes out from the current reality.
